Tranexamic Acid - Dosage and How to Use

How should Tranexamic Acid be used?

You may take this medication with or without food. However, if you experience stomach discomfort when taking the medication, you should take it after food.
If you are taking tranexamic acid for heavy menstrual bleeding, do not start taking the medicine until your menses have started.

What should I do if I miss a dose?

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Then take your next dose at the usual time. Do not take two doses to make up for the missed dose.
