Frequently asked questions
Can Tramexa 500mg Injection be given or injected into muscles?
No, Tramexa 500mg Injection should not be administered by injection into the muscles. It should be given strictly through slow injection into the veins to prevent side effects.
Is Tramexa 500mg Injection dangerous?
Every medicine has its own side effects and these side effects are unlikely to happen if taken as directed. Usually, the benefits of the medicine are greater than the risk of side effects. However, Tramexa 500mg Injection can rarely cause serious side-effects like anaphylaxis (red and lumpy skin rash, difficulty breathing, swelling of face, mouth, lips or eyelids), blood clot in another part of the body or eye problems. Consult your doctor before starting this medication and follow the instructions strictly as given.
Can Tramexa 500mg Injection cause DVT?
Yes, Tramexa 500mg Injection promotes blood clotting, which can potentially increase the risk of a blood clot in the deep leg veins (deep vein thrombosis or DVT). Although many research studies have shown that this increased risk of clot can be due to some other additional factors rather than Tramexa 500mg Injection itself. This condition has been found to be more common in female patients taking Tramexa 500mg Injection. Consult your doctor before starting this medication and follow the instructions strictly as given.
Can Tramexa 500mg Injection affect color vision of eyes?
Yes, there is a possibility of colour vision disturbances when on long-term treatment with Tramexa 500mg Injection. Regular eye check should be performed during treatment and the doctor should be informed if you notice any change in your vision. If any changes are seen, your doctor may stop the medication and suggest an alternative.
Can Tramexa 500mg Injection cause pulmonary embolism?
Tramexa 500mg Injection promotes blood clotting and can rarely cause a blood clot to travel to the lungs (pulmonary embolism) which can turn fatal sometimes. Pulmonary embolism is not a common side-effect in patients taking Tramexa 500mg Injection, but it can occur in cases of overdosing, prolonged bed rest or those who are prone to clotting. Evidence suggests that this increased risk of clot may be due to some other additional factors as well.

Tramexa 500mg Injection can be taken with or without food, preferably with a glass of water. The medicine should be swallowed as a whole and not crushed or chewed.
Can I take Tramexa 500mg Injection for more than 5 days?
The dose and duration of this medication is determined by the type of disease it's prescribed for. For heavy menstrual bleeding, it's typically taken up to 5 days. However, other conditions may require less time or even longer treatment, which is decided by the prescribing physician.
Does Tramexa 500mg Injection affect fertility?
No, Tramexa 500mg Injection does not affect fertility. It's taken for heavy menstrual bleeding and evidence suggests it doesn't interfere with ovulation (release of eggs from the ovaries). Therefore, this medication is not a type of contraceptive and will not impact your chances of becoming pregnant.
Can Tramexa 500mg Injection be taken for nose bleeding?
Yes, Tramexa 500mg Injection can be used for nose bleeding. It helps to clot the blood and prevent further bleeding. If bleeding is frequent, it may be taken for a week.
