Prexam (Tranexamic Acid) 500mg Capsules

Prexam is a brand of Tranexamic Acid 500mg, an antifibrinolytic medication used to control or prevent excessive bleeding. It is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM) frequently prescribed in Nigeria for conditions such as heavy periods (menorrhagia) and surgical recovery.

What is Prexam used for?

Prexam 500mg capsules are primarily used to stabilize blood clots and reduce blood loss in several situations:

• Heavy Menstrual Bleeding: It helps provide relief by significantly reducing blood flow during heavy periods. This is a common treatment for women experiencing menorrhagia.
• Nosebleeds (Epistaxis): Helps stop persistent or recurring nasal bleeding.
• Post-Surgical Care: Often used to prevent excessive bleeding after dental extractions, minor surgical procedures, or gynecological surgery.
• Trauma and Injury: Used in managing bleeding from accidents or specific injuries.

How Prexam Works

The active ingredient, Tranexamic Acid, works by blocking the breakdown of fibrin—the protein that forms the structure of blood clots. By keeping these clots intact, Prexam helps the body maintain its natural healing process and effectively reduces the volume of blood lost.

How to take Prexam

Prexam should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage depends on the condition being treated and your body weight. For heavy periods, it is typically taken only during the days of heavy flow.

If you have questions about how to use this medicine or its side effects, you can contact a GoMed pharmacist for professional advice.
