Frequently asked questions
Can Traxa 500mg Injection be given or injected into muscles?
No, Traxa 500mg Injection should not be administered by injection into the muscles. It must be given strictly through slow injection into the veins to prevent adverse effects.
Is Traxa 500mg Injection dangerous?
All medicines have potential side effects, and these side effects are unlikely to occur if taken as directed. The benefits of this medication usually outweigh the risks. However, Traxa 500mg Injection can occasionally cause serious side effects that could be dangerous, such as anaphylaxis (red and lumpy skin rash, difficulty breathing, swelling of face, mouth, lips, or eyelids), a blood clot in another part of the body, or eye problems. Before starting this medication, consult your doctor to ensure it is suitable for you. Follow the instructions given by your healthcare professional carefully.
Can Traxa 500mg Injection cause DVT?
Yes, Traxa 500mg Injection promotes blood clotting, which can prevent bleeding. However, in rare cases, this could potentially increase the risk of developing a clot in deep leg veins (DVT). While many studies have shown that the increased risk of clot is likely due to other factors rather than Traxa 500mg Injection alone. This condition has been found to be more common in women who are taking Traxa 500mg Injection.
Can Traxa 500mg Injection affect the colour vision of eyes?
Yes, there is a potential for color vision disturbance when using Traxa 500mg Injection for an extended period. Regular eye checkups should be performed during treatment, and your doctor should be informed if you notice any changes in your vision. If any changes are observed, the doctor may stop administering the medicine and suggest an alternative treatment.
Can Traxa 500mg Injection cause pulmonary embolism?
Traxa 500mg Injection promotes blood clotting, which can rarely lead to a clot traveling to the lungs (pulmonary embolism). This condition can be fatal in some cases. Pulmonary embolism is not a common side effect in patients taking Traxa 500mg Injection but can occur in overdosing situations, people with prolonged bed rest, or those at increased risk. Evidence suggests that the increased risk of clot may be caused by other factors as well.
Can you take Traxa 500mg Injection on an empty stomach?
Traxa 500mg Injection can be taken with or without food and a glass of water. Swallow the entire tablet and avoid crushing or chewing it.
Can I take Traxa 500mg Injection for more than 5 days?
The dosage and duration of this medication are decided by the specific condition being treated. For heavy menstrual bleeding, the medication is usually taken for up to 5 days. However, depending on the individual condition, other durations may be prescribed for less than 5 days or even longer that 5 days as prescribed by your doctor.
Does Traxa 500mg Injection affect fertility?
No, Traxa 500mg Injection does not affect fertility. It is used to manage heavy menstrual bleeding and there is no evidence of interference with ovulation (release of eggs from the ovaries). Therefore, this medication is not a type of contraceptive and will not impact your ability to get pregnant.
Can Traxa 500mg Injection be taken for nose bleeding?
Yes, Traxa 500mg Injection can be used for nose bleeding. It helps to clot the blood and stop the bleeding. If the bleeding persists, the medicine may be administered for up to a week.
