Tranexamic Acid (TXA)

Tranexamic Acid (TXA) is a medication commonly used to reduce or prevent excessive bleeding by aiding the body's clotting process. It works as an antifibrinolytic agent that inhibits the breakdown of fibrin, a protein essential for blood clot formation. TXA is often used in surgeries to minimize blood loss, in trauma cases to manage acute hemorrhage, and for patients with conditions like heavy menstrual bleeding or hereditary angioedema.
