tranexamic acid
Clot-preserving medication
Tranexamic acid is a medication that slows bleeding by preventing blood clots from breaking down.
It's used during surgery, for heavy menstrual periods, and in trauma care.
The drug works by blocking plasmin, an enzyme that dissolves clots.
Available as tablets, injections, and topical preparations.
