Tranexamic acid is an antifibrinolytic that works by reversibly binding to plasminogen, preventing its conversion to plasmin and reducing the breakdown of fibrin clots in the blood.

May cause gastrointestinal discomfort, headache, or dizziness. Contraindicated in patients with history of blood clots, stroke, or severe kidney impairment. Should be used with caution during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Oral forms should not be used with hormonal contraceptives due to increased thrombosis risk.
