Tranostat-750 Tablet SR

Tranostat-750 Tablet SR – Tranexamic Acid 750 mg Sustained Release

Tranostat-750 from Ozone Pharmaceuticals is a sustained release tablet of tranexamic acid 750 mg in a 1 x 10 pack, used to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding and to control bleeding in other clinical situations. One point that often surprises people starting it: this is a medicine you take only while you are bleeding. Unlike the hormonal options for heavy periods – the pill, a hormonal coil, progestogens – it does nothing to the cycle and nothing to the lining between periods. You take it for the two, three or four heaviest days and then stop. That makes it the usual first choice for someone who wants their bleeding controlled but does not want contraception, does not want hormones, or is trying to conceive. Reported reductions in blood loss are typically in the range of a third to a half. Strip of 10 tablets.

Key Features

• Tranexamic acid 750 mg sustained release tablets
• Taken only on bleeding days – nothing to take the rest of the month
• No effect on the cycle, on hormones or on fertility
• Typically cuts menstrual blood loss substantially within the first cycle
• Pack of 1 x 10 tablets from Ozone Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

Composition

• Tranexamic Acid – 750 mg (sustained release)
• Excipients q.s. As printed on the pack

Uses & Benefits

• Reduces the volume of blood lost in heavy menstrual periods
• Taken only on the heavy days, not every day of the month
• Non-hormonal – it does not affect the cycle, ovulation or fertility
• Also prescribed for nosebleeds, dental extraction bleeding and other bleeding problems
• Works within the first cycle, so the effect is easy to judge
• Fits alongside iron replacement where periods have caused anaemia

Directions for Use

• Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew it
• Take it as directed by the physician, starting when heavy bleeding begins
• With or without food – after food if it causes nausea
• Stop when the prescribed course of days is finished
• Keep hydrated throughout

Precautions

• Tell your doctor at once if you have ever had a blood clot in the leg or lung, a stroke or a heart attack. Tranexamic acid slows clot breakdown, so it is not given where a clot has occurred or is likely
• It should not be taken with combined hormonal contraceptives without specialist advice – both raise clotting risk
• Not for people with active intravascular clotting, colour vision defects, or bleeding from the kidney or urinary tract, where a clot could block the outflow
• The dose is reduced in kidney impairment. Tell your doctor about kidney disease, seizures, or a history of subarachnoid haemorrhage
• Nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea are the usual side effects and settle with food. Report any calf pain or swelling, chest pain, breathlessness, sudden severe headache or a change in vision immediately
• Heavy bleeding needs a diagnosis. This controls the symptom – fibroids, polyps, thyroid problems and clotting disorders still need investigating

Storage

• Store in a dry place at a temperature not exceeding 30°C, protected from light
• Keep the tablets in the blister until use
• Keep out of reach of children
