Trapic 500

Uses
Trapic 500 (Tranexamic Acid) is indicated for treating menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding). It may also be used in patients with bleeding disorders to prevent bleeding when a tooth is being extracted. This medicine is a type of drug known as an antifibrinolytic, which is synthesized from a type of amino acid known as lysine. It works by blocking the ability of certain enzymes to break down blood clots, and as a result of this, an improvement in blood clotting occurs.
