Tranexamic acid molecule. Computer model showing the structure of a molecule of tranexamic acid. This drug,marketed as Cyclokapton,is used to treat haemophilia - a genetic disorder that prevents the proper clotting of blood - and menorrhagia,abnormally heavy menstruation. Tranexamic acid is an antifibrinolytic,which prevents the breakdown of fibrin,a protein that is important in the coagulation of blood. It also inhibits the activation of plasminogen to plasmin,an enzyme that breaks down fibrin | |
