Cyklokapron Tranexamic Acid for Injection. An injectable form of tranexamic acid is available which is used to improve the surgical outcome in patients with heavy blood loss. Tranexamic acid is a weak fibrinolytic agent that competitively inhibits plasminogen activation, and thereby diminishes the degradation of fibrinogen, plasminogen, and fibrin.
Cyklokapron (Tranexamic acid) is a drug that inhibits the breakdown of fibrinogen, a protein in the blood that helps with clotting. Cyklokapron is used to treat heavy menstrual bleeding and bleeding after childbirth. Cyklokapron is available as a tablet and an injection.
What are the benefits of taking Cyklokapron?
Cyklokapron can help to reduce menstrual bleeding by up to 80%. It can also help to reduce the amount of blood lost after childbirth by up to 50%. Cyklokapron works by stopping the breakdown of fibrinogen, a protein in the blood that is important for clotting. This can help to reduce the risk of heavy bleeding.
CYKLOKAPRON® is indicated in patients with hemophilia for short-term use (2 to 8 days) to reduce or prevent hemorrhage and reduce the need for replacement therapy during and following tooth extraction.
