Tranexamic Acid is a medication used to treat or prevent excessive bleeding. It works by helping blood to clot and is commonly used to manage heavy menstrual bleeding.
Tranexamic Acid is primarily used to treat heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia). It helps reduce the amount of blood loss during periods. Additionally, Tranexamic Acid can be used to treat other conditions such as nosebleeds, bleeding after dental procedures, and hereditary angioedema.
Tranexamic Acid works by inhibiting the activation of plasminogen to plasmin, an enzyme that breaks down fibrin in blood clots. By preventing the breakdown of fibrin, Tranexamic Acid helps stabilize blood clots and reduce excessive bleeding, particularly in the uterine lining during menstruation.
Tranexamic Acid is suitable for individuals who experience heavy menstrual bleeding and need to reduce blood loss. It may also be prescribed for other bleeding disorders as determined by a doctor or pharmacist. However, it may not be suitable for patients with a history of blood clots, certain kidney diseases, or those who are allergic to Tranexamic Acid or any of its ingredients.
Tranexamic Acid is usually taken 2-3 times a day during your period, for up to 5 days. Follow your doctor or pharmacist’s instructions on the exact dosage and duration.
Tranexamic Acid is not typically used to treat vaginal dryness. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for appropriate treatments for vaginal dryness.
