Cyklokapron Drug Center
Medical Editor: John P. Cunha, DO, FACOEP
Cyklokapron (tranexamic acid) is used to prevent bleeding in people with hemophilia who need to have a tooth pulled. This medication is usually given just before the dental procedure, and daily for up to 8 days afterward. Cyklokapron is also used to treat heavy menstrual bleeding. It is a man-made form of an amino acid (protein) called lysine. This medication is available in generic form. Common side effects include headache, runny/stuffy nose, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, back pain, joint or muscle pain, tiredness, or dizziness.
Cyklokapron is administered intravenously before tooth extraction in patients with hemophilia, in a dose of 10 mg per kg body weight. Following tooth extraction, a dose of 10 mg per kg body weight three to four times daily, may be used for 2 to 8 days. Cyklokapron may interact with hormonal birth control, tretinoin, any type of medication to treat a bleeding episode or a blood clot, or factor IX. Cyklokapron is not expected to be harmful to a fetus. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. This medication can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
