for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tranexamic acid Stragen contains\u00a0tranexamic acid, which belongs to a group of drugs called antihemorrhagic;\u00a0fibrinolysis inhibitors,\u00a0and amino <a href=\"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/medicines\/acids\/\">acids<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tranexamic acid Stragen is used in adults and children over 1 year of age to prevent and treat bleeding caused by\u00a0fibrinolysis, which means that the blood has difficulty clotting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specific areas of use include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Heavy <a href=\"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/diseases\/menses\/\">menstruation<\/a> in women<\/li><li>Bleeding in the stomach\/intestines<\/li><li>Bleeding in the urinary tract after prostate surgery or surgical procedures affecting the urinary tract<\/li><li>Ear, nose, or throat surgery<\/li><li>Heart\/vascular surgery, abdominal surgery, or gynecological surgery<\/li><li>Bleeding after you have been treated with another medicine to dissolve blood clots.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Tranexamic acid\u00a0found in Tranexamic acid Stragen may also be approved to treat other conditions not mentioned in this product information.\u00a0Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or another healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before you are given tranexamic acid Stragen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not use Tranexamic acid Stragen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are allergic to&nbsp;tranexamic acid&nbsp;or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).<\/li><li>if you have a disease that causes you to get blood clots.<\/li><li>if you have a disease called &#8216;consumptive coagulopathy&#8217;, where the blood throughout the body begins to form blood clots.<\/li><li>if you have severely impaired kidney function (risk of the medicine accumulating).<\/li><li>if you have previously had convulsions.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the risk of cerebral&nbsp;edema&nbsp;and convulsions, Tranexamic acid Stragen must not be used in the brain (&nbsp;intrathecal&nbsp;and&nbsp;intraventricular&nbsp;injection&nbsp;or intracerebral application).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think that any of the above apply to you, or if you are not sure, talk to your doctor before you are given Tranexamic acid Stragen.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warnings and precautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor if any of the following apply to you, to help him or she decide if Tranexamic acid Stragen is right for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If you have had blood in your urine (Tranexamic acid Stragen can cause flow obstruction in the urethra).<\/li><li>If you have an increased risk of blood clots.<\/li><li>If you have severe clotting or bleeding throughout your body (disseminated intravascular\u00a0coagulation\u00a0), Tranexamic acid Stragen may not be suitable for you, unless you have\u00a0acute\u00a0severe bleeding and blood tests have shown that the process that inhibits the blood&#8217;s ability to clot (\u00a0fibrinolysis\u00a0) has activated.<\/li><li>If you have had seizures in the past, you should not be treated with Tranexamic acid Stragen.\u00a0The doctor must use the smallest possible\u00a0dose\u00a0to avoid convulsions when treated with Tranexamic acid Stragen.<\/li><li>If you are on long-term treatment with Tranexamic acid Stragen, any changes in color vision should be monitored, and if necessary, the treatment should be discontinued.\u00a0If you are treated with\u00a0tranexamic acid\u00a0for a long time, you should have regular eye examinations (checking\u00a0visual acuity, color vision, fundus, the field of\u00a0vision, etc.).\u00a0In the case of eye changes, especially diseases of the retina, the doctor must consult with a specialist and then decide whether long-term treatment with\u00a0tranexamic acid\u00a0is necessary in your particular case.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Tranexamic acid Stragen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines, including over-the-counter

medicines<\/li><li>birth control pills.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy and breastfeeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before you are given Tranexamic acid Stragen.\u00a0Tranexamic acid\u00a0is excreted in breast milk.\u00a0Use of Tranexamic acid Stragen during breastfeeding is therefore not recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
