Tranexamic acid 500?

Tranexamic acid 500 usually refers to a 500 mg tablet strength.

If you’re asking about the common oral dose for heavy menstrual bleeding:
- Typical regimen: 1 tablet (500 mg) taken 3 times daily (every 8 hours) for 4–5 days during the menses.
- Maximum daily dose: up to 4 g per day (8 tablets of 500 mg).

Notes and cautions:
- Take with water, with or without food.
- Do not exceed the recommended daily amount.
- Do not use if you have a history of blood clots or an active thromboembolic disease, unless a clinician has advised otherwise.
- Tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, are pregnant/breastfeeding, or are taking estrogen-containing medications or other drugs that affect clotting.
- Common side effects: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headaches. Serious side effects are rare but can include blood clots or allergic reactions.

Other uses (e.g., for dental procedures or surgery) have different dosing; these should be guided by a clinician.

If you can share your indication (why you’re taking it) and whether you’re using the 500 mg tablet orally or via another route, I can tailor the info more precisely. If you’re considering taking this now, please confirm with a healthcare provider first.
