| Description |
Tranexamic acid is a synthetic derivative of [lysine] used as an antifibrinolytic in the treatment and prevention of major bleeding. It possesses a similar mechanism of action to [aminocaproic acid] but is approximately 10-fold more potent.[L31883]
It was first patented in 1957[A230108] and received its initial US approval in 1986.[L31858] |
| Indications and Usage |
Taken orally, tranexamic acid is indicated for the treatment of hereditary angioedema,[L31883] cyclic heavy menstrual bleeding in premenopausal females,[L31858] and other instances of significant bleeding in the context of hyperfibrinolysis.[L31883] Given intravenously, tranexamic acid is indicated for short-term use (2-8 days) in patients with hemophilia to prevent or reduce bleeding following tooth extraction.[L31853] |
