XAMIC 500MG TABLET

XAMIC 500MG TABLET belongs to the class of medications called ‘anti-fibrinolytic drugs’ used to treat abnormal or unwanted bleeding. It is used to control bleeding in conditions such as heavy periods (menorrhagia), nose bleeds (epistaxis), cervical surgery (conization of the cervix), prostate surgery (post-prostatectomy), bladder surgery (post-cystectomy), bleeding inside the eye (traumatic hyphaema) and a hereditary disease called angioneurotic edema (HANO). The solution form of this medicine is used before tooth removal (dental extraction) in hemophiliacs (people who bleed more easily than normal).

XAMIC 500MG TABLET contains ‘tranexamic acid’, which belongs to the class of ‘anti-fibrinolytic agents’. It is generally used for short-term treatment of bleeding. It acts by regulating the breakdown of blood clots. It blocks the release and action of plasmin which is an enzyme essential for the breakdown of clots present in the blood. This effect helps to slow down the bleeding.

XAMIC 500MG TABLET should be taken as advised by your physician. The dose and duration of the medicine will be decided by your doctor based on your health condition. XAMIC 500MG TABLET may not cause any side effects when used orally. However, some patients may experience certain side effects, such as feeling sick (nausea), diarrhea, and itchy skin. These side effects usually go away on their own. If you develop any other serious side effects, such as vision problems while using XAMIC 500MG TABLET, consult your doctor immediately.

XAMIC 500MG TABLET should be avoided if you are allergic to it or any other ingredients present in it. Do not take this medicine if you have a history of kidney disease, thrombosis (formation of blood clots in the blood vessels), disseminated intravascular coagulation (a disease where blood clots form throughout your body) , and seizures (fits). Inform your doctor if you are taking birth control pills or fibrinolytic agents (medicines that dissolve blood clots). Also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or breastfeeding.

Before taking XAMIC 500MG TABLET, inform your doctor if you notice blood in your urine (except during periods), or have a history of uncontrollable bleeding, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) (a disease where blood clots form throughout your body), irregular periods, and kidney disease. Also, inform your doctor if you or your family has a history of thrombosis (formation of blood clots in the blood vessels). Let your doctor know if you are taking medicine to treat a hereditary disease called angioneurotic edema (HANO) every day for a long time. Your doctor may advise regular eye tests and blood tests to check your vision problems and also liver/kidney functioning. Inform your doctor if you are using birth control pills, including the patch, vaginal ring, and an intrauterine device (IUD), as there is a risk of deep vein thrombosis (a condition in which a blood clot is formed in the deeper vein, mostly the legs). Inform your doctor if you are using fibrinolytic agents (drugs that break blood clots) such as streptokinase, as they may stop the effect of XAMIC 500MG TABLET. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or breastfeeding.
