Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Tranexamic acid has been proposed and used for prevention and management of antepartum and postpartum hemorrhage.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Bleeding during pregnancy is associated with a three- to fourfold increase in perinatal mortality. Hemorrhage in pregnancy is characterized by activation of the fibrinolytic system. Tranexamic acid is a potent pharmaceutical agent that suppresses fibrinolysis, and thus can be used for managing hemorrhage in pregnancy. The FDA's pregnancy category for tranexamic acid is category B. Tranexamic acid has been used to decrease blood loss and treatment of intra partum blood loss in cesarean section also it has been used for prevention and management of postpartum hemorrhage after vaginal bleeding, regardless of whether the bleeding is due to genital tract trauma or other causes.
