Xed (250mg) 30 Capsules

Overview

Xed 250mg Capsules are a medicine formulation containing tranexamic acid, supplied as a pack of 30 capsules. Tranexamic acid belongs to the antifibrinolytic group of medicines, which means it helps reduce excessive bleeding by supporting the stability of blood clots that have already formed. This product should be used only for the condition, dose and duration advised by a qualified healthcare professional.

Because abnormal or heavy bleeding can have many causes, Xed should not be used as a general self-treatment for unexplained bleeding. A doctor may recommend tranexamic acid in selected situations where bleeding is linked to increased clot breakdown. The medicine does not treat the underlying cause of bleeding, so clinical assessment remains important.
