1. What is Tranexamic Acid Tillomed and what is it used for
Tranexamic Acid Tillomed contains tranexamic acid, which belongs to a group of medicines called antifibrinolytics, anti-haemorrhagics, and amino acids.
Tranexamic Acid Tillomed is used in adults and children over 1 year of age to prevent and treat bleeding caused by a process that prevents blood clotting, called fibrinolysis.
The specific indications for use include:

- Surgical procedures in the ear, nose, and throat
- Surgical procedures in the heart, abdominal cavity, or gynaecological surgery
