Tranostat Tablet

Introduction

Tranostat Tablet is a medication used primarily to control bleeding or reduce the risk of excessive bleeding in certain medical conditions. It contains Tranexamic Acid, an antifibrinolytic agent that works by helping to prevent the breakdown of blood clots. This tablet is commonly used for treating heavy menstrual bleeding, post-operative bleeding, and bleeding associated with dental procedures in patients with clotting disorders.

Uses of Tranostat Tablet

How Tranostat Tablet Works

Tranostat Tablet contains Tranexamic Acid, which works by inhibiting the activity of plasminogen activators. These enzymes break down blood clots in the body, a process called fibrinolysis. By preventing the premature breakdown of clots, Tranostat helps maintain clot stability and reduces the chances of excessive bleeding. It essentially helps to stabilize the clotting process, especially in situations where there is a risk of abnormal bleeding.
