"Tranexam" can not only stop bleeding, but also has an anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic effect. It can be used with menopause, and during pregnancy with bleeding. It is important to know the features of taking and prescribing the medicine.
Composition and principle of action
The therapeutic effect of the drug is due to the content of tranexamic acid in the composition. The main effect of the acid is associated with the effect on blood coagulation.
Effect of taking
How much to take the drug to Truceca, what was the effect? To maintain the liquid state of blood and protect against the formation of clots, the body needs the sequential completion of the chain of biochemical reactions. One of the steps is the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin. Tranexamic acid inhibits this reaction, exerting an antifibrinolytic effect. As a result, the rate of formation of blood clots increases and bleeding stops.
Tranexamic acid has a systemic and local hemostatic effect. In addition, it is able to influence the formation of kinins - substances responsible for the severity of inflammation and allergies. Tranexamic acid has anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory effect. Its antitumor properties are also known, which are currently being studied.

Reviews: "Powerful thing"
Tranexam is a powerful thing. I was prescribed, but I did not drink it for long, 2-3 days. I think you will also not take it for long, as soon as it stops bleeding, it will be canceled. I understand that it is unpleasant to swallow tablets with handfuls, but there is nowhere to go. And he does not harm Lyalka. Recover!

After childbirth, bleeding opened, which was never satisfied to stop. A dropper (Tranexam) was prescribed at the hospital. They made a few droppers and everything stopped. Thanks, it helped!
