Product Details

Traxacid 500mg is a high-strength medication designed to effectively manage severe bleeding conditions. Containing Tranexamic Acid, this medication works by inhibiting the breakdown of blood clots. It achieves this by blocking the activation of plasminogen, thus reducing the activity of plasmin, an enzyme responsible for clot degradation. This makes Traxacid 500 mg an essential treatment option for controlling hemorrhage.

Purposes

The main use of Traxacid is to treat hemorrhage or prevent excessive bleeding associated with increased fibrinolysis or fibrinogenolysis. It is particularly useful in managing conditions where there is a risk of severe bleeding due to the breakdown of fibrin clots, aiding in stabilizing the bleeding process.

Warnings

When using Traxacid 500mg Capsules, caution is required, especially if you are taking oral contraceptives, due to a heightened risk of thrombosis. Patients with irregular menstrual bleeding should not use this medication until the underlying cause has been thoroughly investigated. Additionally, convulsions have been reported in some cases, so monitoring during treatment is advised.

Adverse Effects

Potential side effects of Traxacid 500 mg include hypotension, particularly if administered rapidly intravenously. Other possible adverse effects are thrombotic complications and transient disturbances in color vision. Hypersensitivity skin reactions may also occur, though they are relatively uncommon.

Cautions

Before starting Traxacid 500 mg, evaluate the risk of thromboembolic disease, particularly in individuals with a history of such conditions or those at higher risk due to family history. This medication should be used under strict medical supervision in these cases.
