It doesn't stop bleeding entirely, it just reduces how much you bleed. Might be worth going back to the GP.

Keep taking them and see how you get on. I found when I took them I could reduce my painkillers

I need painkillers, tranexamic acid is not a painkiller it should ease the bleeding but it's been 3days

They aren't painkillers. Could be worth taking some pain killers with the tranexamic acid to see if that helps
