Information About Tranexamic Acid

Tranexamic Acid is an antifibrinolytic agent used to treat heavy menstrual bleeding, prevent surgical haemorrhage, and manage skin hyperpigmentation in Singapore. Available as a 250mg–500mg oral tablet taken two to three times daily or as an intravenous infusion for acute haemostasis, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. In trauma, administration within three hours of injury significantly reduces mortality from haemorrhage — the clinical benefit diminishes substantially with delayed administration beyond this critical treatment window.
