Tranexamic acid to prevent heavy bleeding after C-section
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies whether tranexamic acid, a medicine that helps blood clot, can prevent postpartum hemorrhage (heavy bleeding after delivery) in people having a planned C-section or likely vaginal delivery after 34 weeks. It may help lower the risk of dangerous bleeding around the time of birth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two medications (tranexamic acid and oxytocin) given directly into the uterus during a planned cesarean section to see which works better at reducing blood loss. It is for women with a single, full-term pregnancy and no major health complications.
This trial tests whether giving a specific combination of three medicines during a planned c-section is better than one medicine alone for preventing postpartum hemorrhage (heavy bleeding after birth).
This trial studies whether tranexamic acid can prevent heavy bleeding after a planned or urgent cesarean delivery in people with placenta previa. If you qualify, you may receive the study drug to help your body keep blood loss lower during and after surgery.
This trial is for women having their second or third planned c-section. It tests if giving a medicine called tranexamic acid helps prevent heavy bleeding. The medicine is safe and commonly used to reduce bleeding.
