Tranexamic acid dose?

Dosing of tranexamic acid varies by indication and route. Do you have a specific use, patient age, and route in mind? Here are common adult regimens you’ll see on product guidelines:

- Oral tablets for heavy menstrual bleeding (adults and adolescents ≥12):
- 1,000 mg (1 g) orally three times daily (total ~3 g/day) for up to 4–5 days during menses
- Maximum ~4 g/day
- Caution in kidney impairment; adjust per renal function

- Intravenous (trauma or surgical bleeding risk):
- Trauma (e.g., CRASH-2 style): 1 g IV as soon as possible after injury, then another 1 g IV 8 hours later (total 2 g)
- Typical perioperative dosing (varies by procedure): often 10 mg/kg IV before incision, then 10 mg/kg IV every 8 hours for 24–72 hours
- Do not exceed recommended daily total (commonly 4 g/day)

- Topical/oral rinse for dental procedures (to reduce or prevent bleeding in people with bleeding disorders):
- Mouthwash 5%: rinse 10 mL for 2 minutes, then spit out; repeat 4 times daily for 5 days after the procedure

- Pediatric dosing:
- Dosing is usually weight-based and differs from adults; please specify age/weight if you want pediatric figures

If you share the exact indication (e.g., heavy menstrual bleeding, trauma, dental procedure), patient age, and route (oral, IV, or topical), I can give a more precise, tailored dosing suggestion. Also, I can point out important safety notes (risk of thromboembolism; contraindications in active VTE or certain clotting disorders) and renal-dose adjustments.
