HI,
I understand your concern.
* After child birth, menstrual cycles are irregular, profuse/ scanty,sometimes absent -due to weakness/hormonal changes in breast feeding.And in such a case medicines like pause is given.
* In some cases, when uterus is not fully contracted & hard like a stone- retained parts of placenta are expelled with the bleeding-this can be helped by drug like Methargin
* Some times bleeding can not be controlled by above medicines & doctor has to regulate the bleeding by certain hormone Progesteron.
- - Pause :has an ingradient that stops excessive bleeding by helping blood clotting. Usually it is needed in a short course to arrest excessive vaginal bleeding after child birth.It is safe to take it after delivery - any urinary problem/ problem in color identification needs to be reported to doctor.
** If your bleeding is not controlled with Pause/it recurs soon- please visit your treating doctor- for evaluation & giving you medicines as per need.
Thanks.
