What is the generic for Lysteda (tranexamic acid)?

Lysteda’s active ingredient is tranexamic acid. The generic name is also tranexamic acid, typically sold in tablets by many manufacturers. [1]

Are there multiple “generics” for Lysteda, and what should I look for?

Yes. Because the branded drug is tranexamic acid, generics are commonly labeled as tranexamic acid tablets (often with the same strength as the Lysteda product you’re using). What varies by manufacturer is the inactive ingredients (the formulation), but the medication’s active ingredient is the same. [1]

Is the generic equivalent to Lysteda?

In general, an FDA-approved generic uses the same active ingredient (tranexamic acid) and is intended to work the same way as the brand. If you’re switching, the practical question is whether you have the correct strength and dosing schedule. [1]

What if you can’t find the exact strength or formulation?

If the strength (for example, tablet dose) differs from your current Lysteda, your clinician or pharmacist can help translate dosing to the available tablet strengths. You should not change dosing on your own. [1]
