About tranexamic acid

Tranexamic acid is given to stop or reduce heavy bleeding. When you bleed, your body forms clots to stop the bleeding. In some people, these clots break down and the bleeding continues. Tranexamic acid works by stopping the clots from breaking down and so reduces the unwanted bleeding.

It is used to control bleeding in a number of different conditions. It reduces unwanted or heavy bleeding following some surgery (such as surgery on the prostate, bladder or cervix), nosebleeds, heavy periods (menorrhagia), bleeding inside the eye, tooth extraction in people who bleed more easily than normal, and in a condition called hereditary angio-oedema.

Tranexamic acid is available on prescription from a doctor and may be sold over-the-counter from pharmacies for the treatment of heavy periods.

Before taking tranexamic acid

Some medicines are not suitable for people with certain conditions, and sometimes a medicine may only be used if extra care is taken. For these reasons, before you start taking tranexamic acid it is important that your doctor knows:

• यदि आप गर्भवती हैं या स्तनपान करा रही हैं।.

• If you have any problems with the way your kidneys work, or if you have blood in your urine.

• If you have had a blood clot in an artery or vein.

• If you have ever had a fit (convulsion).

• If you have recently had a blood clotting problem called disseminated intravascular coagulation.

• If you are taking any other medicines. This includes any medicines you are taking which are available to buy without a prescription, as well as herbal and complementary medicines. If you are taking the contraceptive pill, please make sure that your doctor is aware of this.

• यदि आपको कभी किसी दवा से एलर्जी की प्रतिक्रिया हुई है।.

How to take tranexamic acid

• Before you start the treatment, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside the pack. It will give you more information about tranexamic acid and will provide you with a full list of the side-effects which you may experience from taking it.

• Take the tablets exactly as your doctor tells you to. Your doctor will tell you how many tablets to take each day and how long the course of treatment will last. Your dose will also be printed on the label of the pack to remind you about what the doctor said to you. It is usual to be asked to take 2-3 tablets, two or three times a day, but your dose may be different to this.

• Swallow the tablets whole with a drink of water - do not crush or chew the tablets.

• Tranexamic acid can be taken either before or after food.

• If you forget to take a dose, do not worry, just leave out the missed dose and take the next dose when it is due. Do not take two doses together to make up for a forgotten dose.
