Tranexamic acid

Tranexamic acid is a medication that helps to prevent or reduce bleeding by helping blood clot more effectively. It works by blocking enzymes that break down clots, thereby stabilizing blood clots and stopping bleeding. It is commonly used in situations like heavy menstrual bleeding, surgery, or traumatic injuries to control excessive bleeding. The drug is usually given orally or through injection and should be used under medical supervision to ensure safety and effectiveness.
