Precautions

Your doctor will check the progress of you or your child closely while you are receiving this medicine. This will allow your doctor to see if the medicine is working properly and to decide if you should continue to receive it. Blood tests will be needed to check for unwanted effects.

If you or your child will be receiving tranexamic acid injection for longer than several days, your doctor may want you to have your eyes checked regularly by an ophthalmologist (eye doctor). This will allow your doctor to check for unwanted effects that may be caused by this medicine.

Tranexamic acid injection should not be used together with factor IX complex (e.g., BeneFIX®, Proplex® T) or anti-inhibitor coagulant concentrates (e.g., Feiba VH®). Doing so, may increase the chance of having serious side effects.

This medicine may cause some people to become dizzy or less alert than they are normally. Make sure you know how you react to this medicine before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are dizzy or are not alert.
