Comparing two drugs to reduce bleeding during planned c-section
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether giving a medicine called tranexamic acid before a cesarean section (c-section) can help reduce the amount of blood loss during the surgery. It may be an option for women having either a planned or unplanned c-section.
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.
This study compares two doses of oxytocin (a medicine given during cesarean section to prevent heavy bleeding) to see which works better for women with high-risk pregnancies. If you are having a planned cesarean and have certain risk factors, this trial may help find the best dose for you.
This study looks at how tranexamic acid, a medicine to reduce bleeding, is given to people who have heavy bleeding after a cesarean delivery. It may help doctors improve treatment for this condition.
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 tests whether giving a medicine called tranexamic acid before a planned C-section can help prevent dangerous heavy bleeding after birth. It is for pregnant women with low-risk pregnancies who are scheduled for a planned C-section.
