Tranexamic Acid Tablets IP 500 mg Uses
Tranexamic Acid is a medicine used to reduce or prevent bleeding in various conditions. It is commonly prescribed for heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), bleeding after tooth extraction in patients with bleeding disorders, nosebleeds, and bleeding during or after surgery. It is also used in hereditary angioedema to prevent swelling attacks. Always consult your doctor for the specific condition being treated.
How Tranexamic Acid works
Tranexamic Acid works by blocking the breakdown of blood clots. It inhibits an enzyme called plasmin, which normally dissolves clots. By preventing clot breakdown, it helps stabilize clots and reduces bleeding. This action is helpful in conditions where excessive bleeding occurs due to overactive clot breakdown.
Common side effects of Tranexamic Acid
- Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
- Dizziness or headache
- Stomach pain or cramps
- Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling) – rare
- Visual disturbances (blurred vision, color vision changes) – seek medical help if occurs
Most side effects are mild and temporary. If any side effect persists or worsens, inform your doctor.
