Tranexamic Acid 500mg Tablets
Tranexamic Acid 500mg is an antifibrinolytic medicine primarily used to control or prevent excessive bleeding. In Nigeria, it is widely used for managing heavy menstrual periods (menorrhagia), nosebleeds, and bleeding after dental or surgical procedures.
It works by stabilizing fibrin clots in the body, which helps stop bleeding effectively and provides essential clotting support.
