Etamsylate + Tranexamic Acid

Etamsylate + Tranexamic Acid — Uses and Benefits

This combination is mainly used to treat conditions involving excessive bleeding, particularly heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia).

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Heavy menstrual bleeding
• Bleeding after certain surgical or dental procedures
• Bleeding due to fragile capillaries
• Other abnormal bleeding conditions as advised by your doctor

HOW IT WORKS

• Etamsylate reduces bleeding by strengthening capillary walls and reducing their permeability
• Tranexamic Acid works by preventing the breakdown of blood clots, helping bleeding stop faster
• Together they help reduce blood loss more effectively than either alone

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• Not used for major arterial bleeding or emergency trauma bleeding requiring surgical care
• Not a treatment for underlying causes of bleeding such as fibroids, infections, or cancers
• Not used as a routine painkiller for period pain
• Not meant for long-term prevention of blood clots or as a blood thinner

Always use this medicine only as directed by your doctor for the specific condition diagnosed.
