Haima 1000 mg 12 sachets help reduce the intensity and duration of heavy periods. Thanks to tranexamic acid, it acts directly on the bleeding mechanism to improve menstrual comfort and limit discharge in women with regular cycles.
When periods become particularly heavy, they can quickly have an impact on everyday life. You may feel unusually tired, have to change your protection very frequently, or be worried about leaks. In this context, Haima can be used to help control these episodes, provided your cycles remain regular, between 21 and 35 days, with little variation.
Haima acts as a menstrual flow regulator. During menstruation, the body naturally forms clots to limit blood loss. Sometimes, these clots dissolve too quickly. Haima intervenes at this precise point, slowing down this mechanism, thereby reducing the abundance of bleeding and limiting its duration.
To better understand, imagine a water leak that we try to contain with small dams. If these dams disappear too quickly, the water flows further. The tranexamic acid in Haima acts as a reinforcement that stabilizes these natural dams, helping to promote menstrual comfort and better control the flow.
This treatment is intended for women and teenagers over the age of 15 with regular cycles. Before using it, it's important to check that your situation corresponds to this type of heavy menstrual flow. For example, if you have to use double protection or change your protection very frequently, this may be a warning sign.
In practice, this type of treatment can help you feel more serene during your period. By reducing the intensity of bleeding, Haima helps to improve quality of life without disrupting the natural functioning of the cycle.
In addition, if you experience associated pain, you may consider taking Spasfon Douleurs Spasmodiques 80 mg, which acts on uterine contractions. This combination acts on both the flow and the pain, for a more comprehensive approach.
The recommended dose for adults and teenagers aged 15 and over is 1 sachet, to be taken 3 times a day, for a maximum of 4 days. In the case of very heavy flow, the dose can be adjusted up to a maximum of 4 sachets a day, with an interval of 6 to 8 hours between each dose.
Coated granules are taken orally with a glass of water. Treatment should be started as soon as menstruation begins.

Presentation :
Box of 12 sachets. Available at the best price from our online pharmacy.
To optimize the effectiveness of your treatment, start taking Haima at the first signs of menstruation, without waiting for the flow to become too heavy. You should also monitor the evolution of your cycles over several months. If you notice any unusual changes (irregularity, intense pain, bleeding outside your period), a medical check-up is essential to adapt your treatment.
How do I know if my periods are too heavy?
If you have to change your pads very frequently, or use a double pad to avoid leakage, this may indicate heavy periods.
Can I use this medication if my cycles are irregular?
No, this treatment is reserved for regular cycles. In the event of irregularity, medical advice should be sought.
How long can I take this treatment?
The maximum duration is 4 days per cycle, during menstruation only.

Please note that you should only use HAIMA if you have regular cycles and heavy periods. To find out if this is the case, answer yes to the following two questions:
1. Are your cycles regular, i.e. do they last between 21 and 35 days (with individual variability less than or equal to 3 days)?
2. To avoid leakage, do you need to use double sanitary protection (e.g. two sanitary towels or one sanitary towel plus one tampon) or replace your sanitary protection very frequently?

Common (1-10% of patients): dizziness, malaise, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain.
Uncommon (0.1-1% of patients): allergic skin reaction.
Undetermined frequency: convulsions, change in color vision, thromboembolic event.
Accident resulting from the obstruction (embolism) of a blood vessel by a clot (thrombus).
The vessel may be an artery, in which case it is an arterial embolism, causing ischemia (deprivation of blood-oxygen supply) in the area supplied by the artery. Severe ischemia leads to the death of oxygen-deprived tissue: infarction. Fortunately, in many cases, a nearby artery can prevent an infarction by supplying oxygenated blood to the area affected by ischemia.
The heart is irrigated by the coronary arteries, which are poorly interconnected, which explains the seriousness of a coronary thromboembolic event: part of the heart muscle, the myocardium, is destroyed (myocardial infarction).
Vein obstruction is less serious, as veins ensure the return of carbon dioxide-laden blood to the heart. Venous obstruction is generally referred to as thrombophlebitis. The seriousness of thrombophlebitis, or phlebitis, lies in the ability of a clot to detach from the vein and be carried by the venous blood to the heart. After passing through the right atrium and right ventricle, the clot enters a pulmonary artery and obstructs a blood vessel, leading to pulmonary embolism and pulmonary infarction.
A condition that has been cured or is still evolving. The antecedent may be personal or familial. Antecedents are the history of a person's health.
Contrary to its name, disseminated intravascular coagulation is a hemorrhage resulting from the formation of multiple clots in all the body's blood vessels, particularly during surgery, infection or certain blood diseases.
Involuntary contractions limited to a few muscles or generalized to the whole body. They are due to suffering or excessive stimulation of the brain: fever, intoxication, lack of oxygen, brain damage. Convulsions may be due to an epileptic seizure or high fever in young children.
The act of accurately identifying a disease.
The strict medical meaning of diarrhea is "the emission of stools that are too frequent and abundant". In fact, common sense equates diarrhea with the notion of frequent, liquid stools. Normally, stools are pasty, but the emission of liquid or barely-formed stools, with no associated pain or particular disorder, is not pathological. Diarrhea occurs when liquid stools are passed repeatedly throughout the day, and the need for them is urgent or painful.
Many drugs can accelerate intestinal transit and make stools more liquid, without this undesirable effect being a real cause for concern.
Antibiotics can alter the digestive flora, essential for digestion, and cause diarrhoea, which is more or less uncomfortable but benign. The effect may appear immediately or after a few days' treatment. A serious and exceptional form of diarrhea, pseudomembranous colitis, may be observed after antibiotic treatment; this condition is characterized by the emission of mucus and false membranes (resembling flaps of skin) associated with abdominal pain; constipation may replace the initial diarrhea. Pseudomembranous colitis may occur several days after antibiotic treatment has stopped, and requires urgent medical advice.

Family of hormones that stimulate the female sexual organs (mainly the uterus and mammary glands). Also known as estrogen.
The frequency of an undesirable effect is described in official documents as follows:
Loss of blood from an artery or vein. A hemorrhage may be external or internal, and may go unnoticed.
Inability of the kidneys to eliminate waste products or drugs. Advanced renal failure does not necessarily mean a reduction in the quantity of urine eliminated. Only a blood test and creatinine measurement can reveal this condition.
Quantity and distribution of a drug dose according to the patient's age, weight and general condition.
Substance whose action is similar to that of progesterone.
Reaction caused by the body's hypersensitivity to a drug. Allergic reactions can take many forms: urticaria, angioedema, eczema, measles-like rash, etc. Anaphylactic shock is the most common. Anaphylactic shock is a generalized allergic reaction that causes a sudden drop in blood pressure.

Sucrose is the substance that makes up cooking sugar and the industrial sugar found in cookies, cakes, sweets and sweetened drinks (a liter-and-a-half bottle of soda contains the equivalent of thirty lumps of sugar). Some people are intolerant to the fructose produced by the digestion of sucrose, and suffer from bloating and diarrhoea. Some medicines contain sucrose as an excipient (a component with no therapeutic activity).
