How Hemostop works
Hemostop is an anti-fibrinolytic. It works by preventing the breakdown of blood clots to control excessive bleeding during periods, or after surgery.
What if you forget to take Hemostop?
If you miss a dose of Hemostop, skip it and continue with your normal schedule. Do not double the dose.
