What does it do?

Tranexamic acid is a medication used to suppress bleeding, primarily for hemostasis and the treatment of skin bleeding. This ingredient helps to reduce bleeding in the blood and aids in wound healing.

Tranexamic acid reduces bleeding by blocking the action of substances in the blood that interfere with blood clotting. This helps the blood to clot more quickly, stopping the bleeding at the site.

Good to know

Unlike other hemostatic agents, tranexamic acid does not directly promote the blood coagulation process; instead, it inhibits the action of enzymes that cause bleeding in the blood. This allows for effective control of bleeding while relatively lowering the risk of thrombus formation.
