Taking tranexamic acid with other medicines and herbal supplements - Brand name: Cyklokapron

Cautions with other medicines

Tranexamic acid can be taken with most other medicines.

However, talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you're taking the combined contraceptive pill. There could be a very small increased risk of getting a blood clot if you take tranexamic acid as well.

Mixing tranexamic acid with herbal remedies or supplements

There's not enough information to say that complementary medicines, herbal remedies and supplements are safe to take with tranexamic acid. They're not tested in the same way as pharmacy and prescription medicines. They're generally not tested for the effect they have on other medicines.

Important: Medicine safety

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you're taking any other medicines, including herbal remedies, vitamins or supplements.
