medication that reduces bleeding by preventing clot breakdown

Tranexamic Acid (TXA) is a medication that helps reduce bleeding by inhibiting the breakdown of blood clots. It is commonly used in surgeries, trauma cases, and to treat heavy menstrual bleeding. By blocking the action of plasmin, an enzyme involved in clot degradation, TXA helps stabilize clots and prevent excessive blood loss.
