Mechanism of action

Tranexamic acid is an antifibrinolytic agent that competitively inhibits the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin, preventing the breakdown of fibrin clots. Early intravenous administration in acute hemorrhage settings aims to reduce mortality and transfusion requirements by stabilizing clot formation during the critical early phase of injury.
