Timing of tranexamic acid injection in mohs surgery
This study looks at the timing of a medicine called tranexamic acid, which is injected under the skin to reduce bleeding and bruising after Mohs surgery for skin cancer. If you are having Mohs surgery with same-day closure, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
