Trapic E Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Tranexamic acid and Etamsylate. Tranexamic acid belongs to the class of ‘anti-fibrinolytic agents’. It acts by regulating the breakdown of blood clots in the body. It blocks the release and action of plasmin, an enzyme essential for the breakdown of clots present in the blood. Etamsylate increases the ability of platelets to stick together (platelet adhesion) and form blood clots. It inhibits the action of chemical substances that cause the breakdown of platelets. This effect helps to slow down the abnormal bleeding.
