In medicine, tranexamic acid is an "inhibitor of plasminogen activation, and at much higher concentrations, a noncompetitive inhibitor of plasmin, i.e., actions similar to aminocaproic acid." It is similar to, but more potent than aminocaproic acid.[1]
It is an "antifibrinolytic hemostatic used in severe hemorrhage."[2] It is also used to treat acquired angioedema due to deficiency of complement C1 inhibitor protein.
