Tranlok 500 Tablet 10 contains tranexamic acid (500 mg), which acts on your body in the following ways:

• Regulates Clot Breakdown: Tranexamic acid works by controlling the breakdown of blood clots in your body.

• Blocks Plasmin: It prevents the release and action of an enzyme called plasmin, which is vital for clot dissolution.

By doing so, Tranlok 500 Tablet 10 helps stabilise blood clots and slow down abnormal bleeding.

• Store your Tranlok 500 Tablet 10 at room temperature.

• Protect from direct sunlight and keep it in a dry place.

• Ensure the packaging is sealed to prevent exposure to air.

• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

• Remember to use this medicine before the expiry date stated on the packet.

• If you're experiencing heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), consider increasing your intake of iron-rich foods like spinach, lentils, and red meat. This can help replenish lost iron and avoid anaemia.

• As Tranlok 500 Tablet 10 is used to manage nosebleeds (epistaxis), try to maintain a humid environment at home, especially during dry weather. Using a humidifier or taking steamy showers can help keep nasal passages moist and may reduce the likelihood of nosebleeds.
