Overview

Tranexamic acid is a synthetic derivative of lysine used as an antifibrinolytic in the treatment and prevention of major bleeding. It possesses a similar mechanism of action to aminocaproic acid but is approximately 10-fold more potent. It was first patented in 1957 and received its initial US approval in 1986.

Indication

Taken orally, tranexamic acid is indicated for the treatment of hereditary angioedema, cyclic heavy menstrual bleeding in premenopausal females, and other instances of significant bleeding in the context of hyperfibrinolysis. Given intravenously, tranexamic acid is indicated for short-term use (2-8 days) in patients with hemophilia to prevent or reduce bleeding following tooth extraction.
