Tranexamic acid is a synthetic haemostatic drug that inhibits fibrinolysis. It is effective in reducing bleeding and mortality, although to different extents in trauma, peripartum, and surgical settings. It is generally safe and inexpensive with few adverse reactions, although further studies are needed to assess its safety in settings of high thromboembolic risk.

Abstract

Tranexamic acid is a synthetic haemostatic drug that inhibits fibrinolysis. It is effective in reducing bleeding and mortality, although to different extents in trauma, peripartum, and surgical settings. It is generally safe and inexpensive with few adverse reactions, although further studies are needed to assess its safety in settings of high thromboembolic risk.
