1 Dosing Considerations Tranexamic acid blood levels are increased in patients with renal insufficiency. The risk for thromboembolic events may be increased in patients using hormonal contraceptives. If Tranexamic Acid has to be used in these patients, advise them to use an effective alternative (non- hormonal) contraceptive method.

After the operation, 25 mg/kg Tranexamic Acid is given orally 3-4 times a day for 6-8 days. Menorrhagia (hypermenorrhea): 2-3 tablets (1000-1500 mg), 3-4 times a day for several days. Hereditary angioneurotic oedema: Some patients can sense the onset of attacks and are best treated intermittently with 2-3 tablets (1000-1500 mg), 2-3 times a day for several days.
Pediatrics: Dosage should be calculated according to body weight at 25 mg/kg orally 2-3 times a day. Patients with Impaired Renal Function: In patients with serum creatine concentrations of 120 to 250 mcmol/L, the recommended dose is 15 mg/kg orally tranexamic acid twice daily.

1 Adverse Reaction Overview Gastrointestinal Disorders: Gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) occur but disappear when the dose is reduced. Immune System Disorders: allergic dermatitis has been reported less commonly.
2 Clinical Trial Adverse Reactions Clinical trials are conducted under very specific conditions. The adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials; therefore, may not reflect the rates observed in practice and should not be compared to the rates in the clinical trials of another drug.
Adverse reaction information from clinical trials may be useful in identifying and approximating rates of adverse drug reactions in real-world use.
Eye Disorders:
No retinal changes have been reported or observed at ophthalmic check-ups of patients treated with tranexamic acid for several weeks or months. This is despite experimental findings in animals (dog and cat) where retina changes have been observed after long-term administration of large doses of tranexamic acid.

Eye Disorders: impaired vision, blurred vision or colour vision impairment (chromatopsia) Immune System Disorders: Cases of allergic reaction with use of intravenous tranexamic acid, including anaphylaxis or anaphylactoid reaction have been reported that are suggestive of a causal relationship.
