Tranexamic acid is used to treat heavy menstrual bleeding in women. This medicine may be used by teenage females, but is not intended for use before the start of menstruation. Tranexamic acid is an antifibrinolytic agent. It works by blocking the breakdown of blood clots, which prevents bleeding.
Tranexamic acid is a synthetic derivative of the amino acid lysine that exerts its antifibrinolytic effect by blocking lysine-binding sites on plasminogen molecules and thereby inhibiting the interaction of plasminogen and the heavy chain of plasmin with lysine residues on the surface of fibrin. Although plasmin can still be formed under these circumstances, it is unable to bind to and degrade fibrin.
