Product Details

Traxacid 250 mg is a specialized medication designed to manage hemorrhage by reducing excessive bleeding. It contains Tranexamic Acid, which works by inhibiting the activation of plasminogen and reducing the breakdown of fibrin clots. This action helps stabilize blood clots and manage conditions associated with increased fibrinolysis.

Purposes

The primary purpose of Traxacid 250mg is to treat or prevent bleeding due to increased fibrinolysis or fibrinogenolysis. It is particularly effective in conditions where there is a risk of hemorrhage caused by excessive clot breakdown, helping to control and stabilize bleeding episodes.

Warnings

When using Traxacid, caution is advised, especially in patients taking oral contraceptives due to an increased risk of thrombosis. Patients with irregular menstrual bleeding should have the underlying cause investigated before starting treatment with this medication. Additionally, there have been reports of convulsions associated with its use, so monitoring is recommended.

Adverse Effects

Possible adverse effects of Traxacid 250mg Capsules include hypotension, particularly if administered too quickly intravenously. Some patients may experience thrombotic complications or transient disturbances in color vision. Hypersensitivity skin reactions have also been reported, although they are relatively rare.

Cautions

Before initiating treatment with Traxacid Capsules, assess the risk factors for thromboembolic disease, especially in patients with a history of such conditions or those with a family history indicating a higher risk of thrombophilia. Tranexamic acid should only be used under strict medical supervision in these cases.
