Hello, you can try take tab TRAPIC 500mg thrice a day first. This is not a hormonal tablet. Will not affect the baby. It will affect the quality or quantity of breast milk either.

Take tranexa or pause instead. Primolut is not safe in breastfeeding. Breastfeed more frequently to reduce the bleeding.
