About Klotran 250 mg/250 mg Tablet

ETAMSYLATE+TRANEXAMIC ACID belongs to the class of medications called ‘Antihemorrhagic agents’ used to treat menorrhagia. Menorrhagia is a condition characterized by heavy or prolonged bleeding during menstrual periods. You are said to have menorrhagia if the bleeding is heavy to disrupt your daily activities, soaking one or more sanitary pads or tampons every hour for several consecutive hours, bleeding for more than a week, and experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, pale face, and shortness of breath. It is also used to stop postoperative hemorrhage (excessive bleeding after a surgical procedure), and local fibrinolysis (abnormal breakdown of blood clots)

ETAMSYLATE+TRANEXAMIC ACID is a combination of two medicines: Tranexamic acid and Etamsylate. Tranexamic acid belongs to the class of ‘anti-fibrinolytic agents’ which acts by regulating the breakdown of blood clots. It blocks the release and action of plasmin, an enzyme essential for the breakdown of clots present in the blood. Etamsylate is a hemostatic agent (prevents bleeding). It increases the ability of platelets to stick together (platelet adhesion) and form blood clots. It inhibits the action of chemical substances that cause the breakdown of platelets. These effects help to decrease abnormal bleeding.
