Bleeding occurs when blood clots break down rapidly. Tranexamic Injection reduces bleeding by preventing the rapid breakdown of clots. It helps to prevent excessive loss of blood, stops bleeding, and enhances the healing process in conditions like tooth removal, heavy periods, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, nosebleed, and in any oral, prostate, or bladder surgery.
It is usually given in cases where oral administration is unsuitable.
Indications
Indicated in patients with hemophilia for short-term use (2 to 8 days) to reduce or prevent hemorrhage and reduce the need for replacement therapy during and following tooth extraction.
Mechanism of action
Tranexamic acid is a synthetic derivative of the amino acid lysine and binds the 5 lysine binding sites on plasminogen. This inhibits plasmin formation and displaces plasminogen from the fibrin surface. It may also directly inhibit plasmin and partially inhibit fibrinogenolysis at higher concentrations. It works by blocking the breakdown of blood clots.
