class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHAT TRANEXA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The active substance in Tranexa is\u00a0tranexamic acid.\u00a0Tranexamic acid\u00a0is an anti-bleeding agent that prevents the effect of the\u00a0enzyme\u00a0that dissolves clotted blood (\u00a0clot\u00a0).\u00a0This leads to less blood loss and a faster healing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tranexa is used:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>during heavy <a href=\"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/diseases\/menses\/\">menstruation<\/a><\/li><li>in case of bleeding or increased risk of

the dental surgery on people with an increased risk of bleeding.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Tranexamic acid&nbsp;found in Tranexa may also be approved to treat<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>other diseases not mentioned
