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.

Not a miracle cure, but this treatment has definitely improved my quality of life. The pain is manageable now instead of debilitating. Give it time to work; I didn't see results for a few months, but they were well worth the wait.

Lysteda for Abnormally Long or Heavy Periods

Lysteda has helped me to manage my heavy bleeding and fibroids by cutting down the amount of blood flow and clots. The occasional headaches are a manageable side effect. I take two pills, three times a day for five days when needed.

Lysteda for Abnormally Long or Heavy Periods

I'm 51 years old with multiple fibroids, and I'm not ready for a hysterectomy. So, I decided to give Lysteda a try. Three days in, and I'm already thrilled that I don't have to change my pad every hour. The pain is tolerable, and I can wear a tampon without any issues. Here's hoping this keeps working well!

Lysteda for Abnormally Long or Heavy Periods

Lysteda helped to reduce my heavy periods caused by fibroids, but I still experience some flooding on the first day of my period. After the first two days, the bleeding is much lighter and I don't need to take as high of a dose. The main side effect I've experienced is mild headaches and fatigue.

OsteoGen for Tooth Extractions

18 - 89
All Sexes
San Antonio, TX

After the removal of a tooth, a bone graft is often placed in the socket to try to keep the volume of bone that was there when the tooth was present so that the bone does not "shrink". The bone graft is sometimes kept in place with a small piece of material over the top of the tooth socket and with stitches. This procedure is called "Ridge Preservation". Many different materials are used for ridge preservation including bone allografts (bone grafts derived from a human tissue donor), bone xenografts (bone grafts derived from species other than humans, such as cows and pigs), and synthetic materials that are similar in structure to bone (such as calcium apatite). The bone allograft and the calcium apatite product used in this study are Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved. This study will compare the two methods used to see how much new bone formation there is inside the tooth socket at about 16 weeks of healing after ridge preservation with a calcium apatite/collagen sponge versus an allograft.

Alternatives to Opioids for Pain After Tooth Extraction

12 - 25
All Sexes
Lexington, KY

The goal of this clinical trial is to test a three-item intervention in oral surgeons who remove teeth. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can the intervention reduce opioid prescriptions to adolescents and young adults after tooth removal? * Do oral surgeons' beliefs about the intervention and opioid prescribing change? * Do patients that report using opioids after tooth removal have different experiences than patients that do not? Oral surgeon participants will: * Attend a 1-hour education session with a trained pharmacist * Receive patient instructions and blister packs of pain medicine to give to patients * Complete 2 surveys about feasibility and appropriateness Patient participants will complete a survey about pain and medication use after having a tooth removed. Researchers will compare the intervention to usual care to see if it reduces opioid prescribing.
