What is Cyklokapron 500mg Used for?
Cyklokapron (Tranexamic Acid)
Cyklokapron is a medication which is used to prevent or treat excessive blood loss. It is used as a short-term therapy in patients with hemophilia especially to prevent and reduce bleeding when they are getting a tooth extraction. Furthermore, Cyklokapron is also used in people who have some other high-risk bleeding disorders to manage bleeding namely after surgery, injury, postpartum bleeding, nosebleeds or during heavy menstrual bleeding. In addition, it is also used in cases of hereditary angioedema.
As Cyklokapron belongs to the group of drugs called anti-fibrinolytic, it acts by helping in the formation of a blood clot and; thus, prevent bleeding.
Cyklokapron is easily available, and you can buy Cyklokapron online from Canada Pharmacy.
