What Are the Safety Concerns Associated with Tranexamic Acid?
While tranexamic acid is generally considered safe, certain adverse effects and contraindications need to be considered:
1. Thromboembolic Events: There is a potential risk for thromboembolic events, although studies have shown that this risk is relatively low. 2. Renal Impairment: Patients with renal impairment need dose adjustments to avoid complications. 3. Hypotension: Rapid intravenous administration can lead to hypotension, hence a slow infusion rate is recommended.
