TRANOBID-500 TAB

Uses of TRANOBID-500 TAB

TRANOBID-500 TAB is indicated for the management and prevention of bleeding in various clinical situations. It is essential to use this medication under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

• Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (Menorrhagia)

  TRANOBID-500 TAB is highly effective in reducing excessive blood loss during menstruation. It works by preventing the breakdown of blood clots in the uterus, leading to a significant decrease in menstrual flow. This helps improve comfort and quality of life for women suffering from heavy periods, often reducing the need for other interventions.

• Post-Surgical Bleeding

  This medication is prescribed to minimize blood loss during and after various surgical procedures, especially those associated with a high risk of hemorrhage. By stabilizing blood clots, TRANOBID-500 TAB helps ensure proper wound healing and reduces the need for blood transfusions, contributing to a smoother recovery process for patients.

• Epistaxis (Nosebleeds)

  TRANOBID-500 TAB can be used to control and prevent recurrent nosebleeds. Its antifibrinolytic action helps to strengthen the blood clots formed in the nasal passages, thereby stopping the bleeding more effectively and reducing the frequency of future episodes. It's particularly useful in cases where nosebleeds are persistent or severe.

Side Effects of TRANOBID-500 TAB

Like all medicines, TRANOBID-500 TAB can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Most side effects are mild and temporary.

Serious side effects are rare but require immediate medical attention.

If any side effect persists or worsens, or if you experience any other unusual symptoms, consult your doctor immediately. Do not self-medicate or alter your dosage without medical advice.

How to use TRANOBID-500 TAB

• Adults:

  For heavy menstrual bleeding, the usual dose is 1000 mg (two 500 mg tablets) three times daily for a maximum of 4 days during menstruation. For other bleeding conditions, dosage varies and should be determined by a doctor based on the specific condition and patient's response. Always take with food to minimize gastrointestinal upset.

• Children:

  The use of Tranexamic Acid in children should be carefully considered and prescribed by a pediatrician. Dosage will be adjusted based on body weight and the specific condition being treated. It is not generally recommended for routine use without specialist advice.

• Elderly:

  No specific dose adjustment is typically required for elderly patients unless there is evidence of renal impairment. However, caution is advised due to the higher prevalence of age-related conditions and potential for drug interactions. Renal function should be monitored.

• Missed Dose:

  If you miss a dose of TRANOBID-500 TAB, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.

How TRANOBID-500 TAB works

Tranexamic Acid, the active ingredient in TRANOBID-500 TAB, functions as an antifibrinolytic agent. Its primary mechanism involves inhibiting the breakdown of fibrin, which is a key component of blood clots. It achieves this by reversibly binding to specific sites on plasminogen, a precursor to plasmin. By occupying these sites, Tranexamic Acid prevents plasminogen from being converted into plasmin. Plasmin is an enzyme responsible for fibrinolysis, the process of dissolving blood clots. By blocking the activation of plasminogen to plasmin, Tranexamic Acid effectively prevents the premature dissolution of blood clots. This action helps to stabilize existing clots, thereby reducing and controlling excessive bleeding. This targeted mechanism ensures that the body's natural clotting process is supported, leading to effective hemostasis. This inhibition of fibrinolysis is particularly beneficial in situations where the body's natural clot-dissolving mechanisms are overactive or when sustained clot stability is required to prevent further blood loss, such as in heavy menstrual bleeding or post-operative hemorrhage.

Precautions

• Inform your doctor if you have a history of blood clots or a family history of thrombotic disorders.
• Use with caution in patients with renal impairment; dose adjustment may be necessary.
• Regular eye examinations are recommended during long-term treatment to monitor for visual disturbances.
• Avoid concomitant use with hormonal contraceptives without consulting your doctor, as it may increase the risk of blood clots.
• Patients with irregular menstrual bleeding should be thoroughly investigated to rule out underlying pathology before starting treatment.
• Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including herbal supplements.
