What is Tranexamic Acid?

Tranexamic Acid Tablets contain the active ingredient tranexamic acid, which helps reduce heavy menstrual bleeding. These tablets come in a 500 mg strength and are available in packs of 30. Tranexamic acid works by helping your blood to clot, which reduces the amount of bleeding during your period.

What are Tranexamic Acid Tablets used for?

Tranexamic Acid Tablets are primarily used to treat heavy menstrual bleeding. They help reduce the amount of blood loss during your period, making it more manageable. Doctors may also prescribe Tranexamic Acid Tablets for other conditions that involve excessive bleeding, such as nosebleeds, bleeding after surgery, or bleeding disorders like haemophilia.

How does Tranexamic Acid work?

Tranexamic acid works by inhibiting the breakdown of blood clots. It blocks an enzyme called plasmin, which dissolves clots. By preventing the breakdown of clots, tranexamic acid helps reduce the amount of bleeding. This action is particularly useful during heavy menstrual periods, as it helps maintain the clots that form in the uterus lining, reducing overall blood loss.

Who are Tranexamic Acid Tablets suitable for?

Tranexamic Acid Tablets are suitable for women who experience heavy menstrual bleeding and are looking for a way to manage it. However, these tablets may not be suitable for everyone. You should not take Tranexamic Acid Tablets if you:

  • Are allergic to tranexamic acid or any other ingredients in the tablets
  • Have a history of blood clots
  • Have a condition called disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
  • Have kidney problems
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding without consulting your doctor

Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe for you.

How to take Tranexamic Acid Tablets

  • Take the tablets by mouth with a glass of water.
  • Swallow the tablets whole; do not crush or chew them.
  • Take the tablets during your period, starting on the first day of heavy bleeding.
  • Follow the dosage instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist.

Take Tranexamic Acid Tablets three times a day, spaced evenly throughout the day. Do not take more than six tablets in a 24-hour period.

Use Tranexamic Acid Tablets for up to four days during each menstrual cycle. If your bleeding does not improve or worsens, consult your doctor.
