Indication/Uses:

Tranexamic acid, marketed as Tranesaph, is an antifibrinolytic medication that helps prevent excessive bleeding. It is commonly used in a 100mg/ml solution for injection, provided in 5ml ampoules, for various medical conditions. The main indications and uses of Tranexamic acid include:

1. Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (Menorrhagia): Tranexamic acid is used to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding by inhibiting the breakdown of blood clots in the uterus.
2. Surgical Procedures: It is administered to reduce bleeding during and after surgery, including cardiac, orthopedic, dental, and gynecological surgeries.
3. Trauma: In cases of trauma, tranexamic acid can help control bleeding and improve outcomes in patients with significant hemorrhage.
4. Hereditary Angioedema: It can be used to prevent and treat episodes of swelling associated with hereditary angioedema.
5. Epistaxis (Nosebleeds): Tranexamic acid can be used to manage severe nosebleeds by promoting clot stability.
6. Postpartum Hemorrhage: It is used to manage and reduce bleeding following childbirth.

Tranexamic acid works by inhibiting the activation of plasminogen to plasmin, an enzyme responsible for the breakdown of fibrin clots. This action helps stabilize clots and prevent excessive bleeding.

The dosage and administration of tranexamic acid should be determined by a healthcare professional, considering the specific condition being treated and the patient's overall health. It is typically administered intravenously in controlled settings.
