Who Is This For?
Recommended for women aged 15 and older with a moderate or weaker constitution who experience unusually heavy menstrual bleeding — such as needing to change sanitary products every hour, experiencing blood clots, or bleeding through nighttime protection. Also suitable for those who experience anaemia associated with heavy blood loss, or who want to support their body during heavy menstrual periods. Specifically designed for women who tend toward cold sensitivity and do not have gastrointestinal disorders.
How to Use
Take 5 tablets per dose, 3 times per day. Take before meals or between meals, swallowed with water or warm water. Begin taking at the start of menstruation (or at the onset of heavy bleeding) and continue for the duration of the heavy period — approximately 3 days at standard dosage. Do not exceed 15 tablets per day. Age: 15 years and older only. Tip: Kobayashi recommends beginning Chirac on Day 1 of menstruation and monitoring blood volume over 3 days. If bleeding does not improve or is accompanied by severe pain, consult a doctor.
