From the Research

Kyatrex Overview

• Kyatrex is not directly mentioned in the provided studies, however, the active ingredient in Kyatrex is tranexamic acid.
• Tranexamic acid is used to treat heavy menstrual bleeding, post-partum haemorrhage, and other conditions involving excessive bleeding.

Efficacy and Safety of Tranexamic Acid

• Tranexamic acid has been shown to be effective in reducing menstrual blood loss by 26%-60% and improving the quality of life of women treated for heavy menstrual bleeding 2.
• It is also effective in reducing blood loss in surgical procedures and improving survival rates in obstetric and trauma patients with severe bleeding 3.
• The recommended oral dosage for heavy menstrual bleeding is 3.9-4 g/day for 4-5 days starting from the first day of the menstrual cycle 2.
• Tranexamic acid is generally well tolerated, with most adverse reactions being mild or moderate 3.

Clinical Use of Tranexamic Acid

• Tranexamic acid is used to reduce bleeding in a wide range of surgical procedures, including orthopedic surgery, liver transplantation, and cardiac surgery 3.
• It is also used to treat post-partum haemorrhage, with the WHO recommending 1 g intravenously as soon as possible after giving birth, followed by a second dose if bleeding continues or restarts 4.
• The effect of tranexamic acid is greatest when given within 3 hours of childbirth or bleeding onset 4.

Barriers to Access and Myths Surrounding Tranexamic Acid

• Despite its well-established benefits, individual- and structural-level barriers preclude the widespread utilization of tranexamic acid, hindering effective patient care and perpetuating health inequities in women's health 5.
• Barriers to tranexamic acid use include structural sexism, period poverty, misinformation in product monograph labeling, stigmatization of vaginal blood loss, and drug access 5.
