Guide To Treating And Managing Hemophilia

Other Medication

Some individuals with hemophilia may benefit from taking anti-fibrinolytic drugs. These drugs help prevent clots from breaking down, thus lessening the risk of bleeding. The most common of these medications is tranexamic acid. It is most often considered when a patient is at a very high risk of hemorrhaging. These are often given alongside clotting medications.

The dose and how often patients take these drugs depends on their condition severity. These drugs can be taken before surgery to prevent bleeding or on a short-term basis for other instances of bleeding. For the most part, patients will take tranexamic acid as an oral medication, though children with hemophilia may be given a liquid version instead.
