What is tranexamic acid?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Stops clot breakdown: Tranexamic acid (txa) is a drug that stops clots from breaking down. It is currently approved for use by hemophiliacs undergoing dental procedures and by women with very heavy periods. It is being used more and more for helping to stop bleeding after major injury. Research has shown that it saves lives if given within 3 hours of major injury, especially in people who have low blood pressure.

Agree with Dr. M: It is for use by an expert and is not suitable for self-medication. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine
