Frequently asked questions
Does Xenopost Tablet increase the risk of pulmonary embolism?
Xenopost Tablet promotes blood clotting, which can rarely lead to blood clots traveling to the lungs (pulmonary embolism), which can be fatal in some cases. Pulmonary embolism is not a common side effect for patients taking Xenopost Tablet, but it may occur in overdose, prolonged bedrest, or individuals with predisposing conditions. Evidence suggests that this increased risk of clot formation could be due to other contributing factors.

Xenopost Tablet can be taken with or without food, preferably with a glass of water. It should be swallowed whole and not crushed or chewed.
Can I take Xenopost Tablet for more than 5 days?

For heavy menstrual bleeding, it may be taken for up to 5 days, while other conditions might have shorter durations (less than 5 days) or longer durations depending on the prescribing physician's assessment.
Does Xenopost Tablet affect fertility?
No, Xenopost Tablet does not affect fertility. It is used for managing heavy menstrual bleeding and there is no evidence suggesting it affects ovulation (the release of eggs from the ovaries). Therefore, this medication is not considered a contraceptive.
