Mechanism of action
Tranexamic acid is an antifibrinolytic agent that competitively inhibits the binding of plasminogen and plasmin to fibrin, preventing the breakdown of blood clots. By reducing fibrinolysis, it helps maintain hemostasis and reduce blood loss in surgical and trauma settings. When combined with standard of care, it enhances the overall hemostatic effect in clinical scenarios where excessive bleeding is a concern.
