No, Zaxid doesn't prolong periods. It may or may not shorten the duration of the period because it mainly reduces the blood loss during periods.

No, Zaxid doesn't stop bleeding. It is used to reduce bleeding. During bleeding, clots are formed. Zaxid prevents these clots from dissolving and this reduces bleeding.

No, Zaxid does not causes bloating (swollen belly after eating food which might be caused by excessive gas production). It has not been reported by the patients who are taking it. If you are experiencing bloating after taking this medicine, then try eating less spicy and fibre rich food also try to eat food in less quantity at a time. Taking probiotics or digestive enzyme supplements might be helpful in reducing bloating.

Zaxid is available in the form of an injection and tablet. Injection must be taken under the supervision of a doctor. The tablet should be taken orally or by mouth. Depending upon your condition, your doctor will suggest you a dosing schedule. It is important that you stick to this schedule. It can be taken with or without food. It should be taken at exactly the same time every day so that you don't miss the dose. If your bleeding doesn't reduce or gets worse, call your doctor immediately.

Zaxid stops the process of fibrinolysis during which the blood clots are broken, resulting in excessive bleeding. In this way, Zaxid reduces the blood loss from the body.
