Pack size: 20 capsules.

Uses of Traxacid 500mg Capsule

Traxacid 500mg Capsule is used to reduce heavy bleeding. It is widely prescribed for heavy periods, and is also used for nosebleeds, for bleeding after surgery, dental extraction or injury, and to prevent bleeding in people with haemophilia or other clotting problems. It may also be used to help prevent swelling attacks in hereditary angioedema.

How Traxacid 500mg Capsule works

Tranexamic acid blocks fibrinolysis, the natural process the body uses to break down blood clots. By keeping clots that have already formed in place for longer, it helps bleeding slow down and stop. It does not change the number of platelets or the clotting factors themselves.

Possible side effects

Most people tolerate Traxacid 500mg Capsule well; the more common side effects include:

• Nausea
• Diarrhoea
• Headache
• Stomach pain
• Back or muscle pain

Get emergency help if you have pain, swelling or redness in one leg, chest pain, sudden breathlessness, or signs of a stroke such as weakness on one side or slurred speech. Also report any change in your eyesight or colour vision.

Precautions and warnings

• Tell your doctor if you have ever had a blood clot in a leg, lung, brain or eye, or have a condition that raises your risk of clots.
• Let your doctor know if you have kidney disease, a history of fits, or blood in your urine.
• Taking it with the combined contraceptive pill may increase the risk of clots, so mention any hormonal medicines you use.
• See a doctor if heavy periods do not improve or bleeding is unusual, as the underlying cause should be investigated.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, take it only on medical advice.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
