ABSTRACT

One hundred and fifty women with device menorrhagia were the subject of this study. Cases received either Ibuprofen, etamsylate or combined Ibuprofen etamsylate therapy. The duration of menstrual flow, the daily number of towel usage and the hemoglobin concentration before and after the treatment were taken as criteria for estimation of drug efficacy. The results showed that combined Ibuprofen- etamsylate therapy was superior to either Ibuprofen or etamsylate therapy in treating device-related menorrhagia. Seven case [4.7 percent] reported side effects, which were not serious
