Cyklokapron 100mg Injection 5ml

Cyklokapron 100mg Injection 5ml belongs to the class of medications called ‘anti-fibrinolytic drugs. It is mainly used to treat abnormal bleeding in various conditions such as menorrhagia (heavy bleeding in periods), epistaxis (nose bleeds), cervical surgery (conization of the cervix), post-prostatectomy (prostate surgery), post-cystectomy (bladder surgery), traumatic hyphaema (bleeding inside the eye), before tooth removal (dental extraction) in hemophiliacs (people who bleed more easily than normal) and a hereditary disease called angioneurotic oedema (HANO).

Cyklokapron 100mg Injection 5ml contains an anti-fibrinolytic drug, tranexamic acid. Tranexamic acid helps the body's natural blood clotting system by reducing fibrin breakdown, which inhibits fibrinolysis, a process that limits the development of blood clots. As a result, Cyklokapron 100mg Injection 5ml contributes to the prevention of excessive bleeding.

Cyklokapron 100mg Injection 5ml is a parenteral form. It will be administered by the healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Cyklokapron 100mg Injection 5ml may cause side effects such as feeling sick (nausea), diarrhoea, vomiting, itchy skin, and pain at the injection site. These side effects usually disappear with time.

Also, inform your doctor before receiving this injection if you are using any birth control pills or fibrinolytic agents (medicines that dissolve blood clots) or if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Cyklokapron 100mg Injection 5ml contains tranexamic acid, which is an anti-fibrinolytic medication. Tranexamic acid helps the body's natural blood clot process by preventing fibrin's breakdown, and this stops fibrinolysis, a process that stops blood clot formation.

Let your doctor know if you are taking medicine to treat a hereditary disease called angioneurotic oedema (HANO) every day for a long time. Your doctor may advise regular eye tests and blood tests to check your vision problems and also liver/kidney functioning. Inform your doctor if you are using birth control pills, including the patch, vaginal ring, and an intrauterine device (IUD), as there is a risk of deep vein thrombosis (a condition in which a blood clot is formed in the deeper vein, mostly the legs).
