It is available in oral, injectable, and topical forms depending on the medical need.

Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

  • Antifibrinolytic Agent: Tranexamic acid inhibits the breakdown of blood clots by blocking plasminogen activation, making it useful in controlling excessive bleeding in surgeries, trauma, heavy menstruation, and dental procedures.
  • Hemostatic Agent in Surgery: Used during cardiac, orthopedic, and gynecological surgeries to reduce blood loss and the need for transfusion.
  • Treatment for Menorrhagia: Commonly prescribed to women with heavy menstrual bleeding to reduce volume and frequency without affecting hormone levels.
  • Adjunct Therapy in Hereditary Angioedema: Helps prevent episodes of swelling in patients with this rare condition by reducing fibrinolysis-related inflammation.
  • Postoperative Bleeding Control: Often prescribed as a mouthwash or oral medication after dental surgery (e.g., extractions) to control bleeding, especially in patients on anticoagulants.

2. Personal Care

  • Skin Lightening Agent (Topical Use): Used in creams and serums to reduce hyperpigmentation, melasma, and dark spots by inhibiting melanin production pathway.
