Transamin 500mg Capsule contains tranexamic acid 500mg, an antifibrinolytic medicine used to help control or reduce excessive bleeding in certain medical conditions.

Tranexamic acid works by slowing the breakdown of blood clots, helping formed clots remain stable for longer and reducing blood loss. It may be prescribed for conditions such as heavy menstrual bleeding and other situations where excessive bleeding is associated with increased clot breakdown.

Use Transamin only according to your doctor's prescription because the appropriate dose and treatment duration depend on the cause of bleeding and your medical condition.
