Cohort 2
Dose of Tranexamic acid 10 mg/kg will be administered. Tranexamic Acid: Tranexamic acid dosage (5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg) administered in a dose escalating fashion by cohort with the lowest dose first.
Cohort 3
Dose of Tranexamic acid 15 mg/kg will be administered. Tranexamic Acid: Tranexamic acid dosage (5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg) administered in a dose escalating fashion by cohort with the lowest dose first.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Different time points ranging from surgery (T0) to 1 day postpartum.

Population: Groups are combined because in PKPD modeling the best model parameter estimates are determined from combination of individual participant data of the dose administered, patient characteristics, times of administration and drug level in plasma.

Data obtained from assays of TXA in blood, dose group and patient characteristics; parameter estimates in 2 compartment model includes the clearance of the drug (L/hr).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Different time points ranging from surgery (T0) to 1 day postpartum.

Population: Groups are combined because in PKPD modeling the best model parameter estimates are determined from combination of individual participant data of the dose administered, patient characteristics, times of administration and measured ML levels in plasma.

PD model parameters included concentration of TXA causing 50% of maximal fractional inhibition (IC50).
