Summary

Anaemia is when the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen. It is common in women because they lose blood every month during their periods. Anaemia can womwn make feel tired, weak, dizzy and out of breath. It can also make it harder to study, work or look after their family. If woman become pregnant with anaemia, it can cause problems for both mother and baby, such as early birth or heavy bleeding when giving birth. It is best to treat anaemia in young women well before they get pregnant. Doctors treat anaemia with iron and vitamins. But some people get side effects when taking iron tablets and so they stop taking them. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a medicine used to treat heavy periods. The investigators of this study would like to find out if taking TXA with the usual iron and vitamin supplements is better at treating anaemia than taking iron and vitamin supplements alone.
