The information on this product's packaging is Turkish language only.

Uses
Transamine (Tranexamic Acid) belongs to a class of medicines known as antifibrinolytics. It is a synthetic form of a protein known as lysine, and it works by preventing blood clots from being broken down. By preventing the production of a substance known as plasmin (which breaks down blood clots), it helps to stop the dissolution of blood clots, thereby leading to a reduction in bleeding. This drug is normally prescribed for treating menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding). Other conditions which patients have used it for treating include nose bleeds, angioneurotic oedema and bleeding caused by injury. It may also be given to patients to prevent bleeding caused by surgery.

Patients are sometimes told to take it 2 to 4 times per day, however, because the exact dosage may be different for each individual, depending on the patient's circumstances, it is important that the instructions given by the prescribing doctor are followed. Never take more than the prescribed dosage.
