Tranexamic acid 650 mg tablet?

Tranexamic acid 650 mg tablets are an antifibrinolytic medicine used to reduce or prevent excessive bleeding.

- Common dosing with a 650 mg tablet (example for heavy menstrual bleeding): 650 mg taken three times daily (every 8 hours) for up to 5 days during menses. Some other conditions have different regimens, so follow your doctor’s instructions or the product labeling.

- What it’s used for: heavy menstrual bleeding, certain dental or surgical bleeding assessments, and other bleeding conditions as advised by a clinician.

- Important safety notes:
- Do not use if you have a history of or active thrombosis (blood clots) or certain clotting disorders, or if you have severe kidney disease (dose may need adjustment or avoidance).
- Use with caution in pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by a clinician.
- Possible side effects: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, headache, dizziness. Rare but serious: blood clots or allergic reactions.

- Interactions: may interact with other antifibrinolytics, estrogen-containing meds, or drugs that affect clotting. Tell your clinician about all medications and supplements you take.

- How to take: swallow the tablet with water, with or without food. Do not crush unless your healthcare provider says it’s okay. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s near the time for your next dose—don’t double up.

If you’re asking for dosing for a specific condition or country, or you have a prescription and want to confirm details, tell me and I can tailor the information. If you’re experiencing heavy bleeding or have concerns about taking this medication, talk to your clinician promptly.
