Transamin (500mg) contains Tranexamic Acid, an antifibrinolytic agent used to prevent and control excessive bleeding. It works by blocking the breakdown of blood clots (fibrin), thereby reducing bleeding in various conditions such as heavy menstrual periods, surgeries, trauma, nosebleeds, and bleeding disorders. Transamin helps promote normal clotting and prevent blood loss without affecting overall blood circulation.
