Tranexamic Acid Online Prescription

Tranexamic Acid - Overview

Tranexamic acid, marketed under the brand names Lysteda and Cyklokapron, is a medication generally used for heavy menstrual bleeding. People who need a prescription for tranexamic acid use Push Health to connect with a medical provider who can prescribe tranexamic acid medication, including tranexamic acid topical and tranexamic acid 650 mg tabs, when appropriate to do so.

Tranexamic Acid - Mechanism of Action

Tranexamic acid belongs to a class of medications known as antifibrinolytic medications. A synthetic lysine amino acid derivative, tranexamic acid works by temporarily binding lysine receptor sites and moves plasminogen off of the surface of fibrin. The effect of this is to decrease the formation of plasmin from plasminogen, leading to increased structural integrity of the fibrin matrix. Tranexamic acid's overall effect by this mechanism is to reduce menstrual bleeding. Some work is being done on investigating tranexamic acid for melasma treatment but no official indication has been given, making tranexamic acid for melasma an off-label use.

Tranexamic Acid - Dose and Cost

Tranexamic acid is available as tranexamic acid 650 mg tablets. Frequently, tranexamic acid is prescribed as two tranexamic acid 650 mg tablets taken three times per day for, at most, five days during monthly menstruation. Ultimately, the regimen used is dependent on the patient and her health characteristics and the judgement of the prescribing medical provider. People with kidney issues will need specific dosing adjustments when taking tranexamic acid. Peak plasma levels occur at roughly three hours and the drug is largely excreted in the urine. Tranexamic acid is relatively affordable, costing approximately $1.70 per tranexamic acid 650 mg tablet at many pharmacies in the United States. Some insurance plans may cover some costs associated with a tranexamic acid prescription, depending on the indication. Also, tranexamic acid coupons may be available online, through a tranexamic acid copay card or through the manufacturer.
