Extended tranexamic acid after knee or hip replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at whether taking tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps blood clot) by mouth for a few days after knee or hip replacement surgery can reduce blood loss and the need for transfusions. If you are having one of these surgeries for arthritis, this trial aims to improve your recovery.
