Cyklokapron (Tranexamic acid)

This medication is used for short-term control of bleeding in hemophiliacs, including dental extraction procedures.

Take exactly as directed. Dosage is generally two to four times daily by mouth. Length of treatment is based on your condition and response.

This acts against breakdown of clots (by inhibiting or stopping plasminogen activation and fibrinolysis), and so it is useful in stopping severe blood loss as it increases clot formation.

If you miss a dose of Flovent Spray, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once.

Store at room temperature between 36 and 86 degrees F (2-30 degrees C) away from sunlight and moisture.
