Patient leaflet - Haemonord 50 mg/ml mouthwash
1. What your medicine is and what it is used for
Haemonord 50mg/ml Mouthwash contains tranexamic acid which belongs to a group of medicines known as anti-fibrinolytics. It is used after dental or oral surgery to stop or reduce unwanted bleeding. When you bleed your body forms clots to stop the bleeding. In some people these break down causing too much bleeding. Haemonord 50mg/ml Mouthwash stops these clots dissolving and so reduces unwanted bleeding.
You may be given Haemonord 50mg/ml Mouthwash if you are having dental surgery and you are taking medicines called anti-coagulants which are used to prevent blood clots.
