What does it do?

Aminocaproic acid is a medication that promotes blood coagulation and is used in the form of eye drops to prevent or treat intraocular bleeding. This ingredient plays a role in inhibiting thrombolysis in the blood.

Aminocaproic acid helps blood to coagulate longer at the site of bleeding by inhibiting the action of enzymes that break down blood clots. As a result, intraocular bleeding is reduced and hemostasis is promoted.
