Effectiveness
How Lysteda Affects Patients
Tranexamic acid is a medication that stops the breakdown of blood clots. It works by blocking the enzyme plasmin, which helps break down clots. This medication is 10 times more effective than a similar drug called aminocaproic acid. Tranexamic acid is used to prevent attacks of angioedema, a condition where swelling occurs in the face or throat, by reducing the activity of plasmin. While this drug can reduce the risk of seizures, there is a risk of convulsions and increased excitability if it's not properly administered or used during cardiovascular surgery. It is recommended to
How Lysteda works in the body
Tranexamic acid helps to prevent bleeding by preventing plasminogen from binding to fibrin. Plasminogen is a molecule that helps to dissolve clots, so tranexamic acid prevents it from doing its job. This allows the clot to remain stable and prevents hemorrhage.
