It is also effective in reducing the visibility of scars and stretch marks. The solution is applied directly to the affected area, providing a convenient means of delivering the active ingredient where it is most needed.

Tranexamic Acid 3% Topical Solution is generally safe and effective when used as directed. It can be applied up to twice daily, or as instructed by your healthcare provider. As with any medication, it is important to follow the usage instructions carefully to ensure the best possible results. Some common side effects may include skin irritation, redness, and dryness. However, these are typically mild and temporary.

Drug Interactions

Tranexamic Acid 3% Topical Solution is a liquid formulation designed for external application to the skin. This solution is primarily used for the treatment of melasma, a skin condition that results in dark patches on the face. The active ingredient, Tranexamic Acid, works by inhibiting the breakdown of fibrin, a protein integral to the formation of blood clots. This action helps to reduce the visibility of melasma patches.

In addition to treating melasma, Tranexamic Acid 3% Topical Solution can also be used to address other hyperpigmentation disorders. These include post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and solar lentigines, both of which result in uneven skin tone or dark spots.

However, Tranexamic Acid 3% Topical Solution is not suitable for everyone. It should not be used by patients with a history of thromboembolic disorders, such as deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. Additionally, it should not be used by patients with active bleeding or those who are currently taking anticoagulants.

Patients using Tranexamic Acid 3% Topical Solution should apply the solution to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by their healthcare provider. It is crucial to avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If contact does occur, the area should be thoroughly rinsed with water.

Patients should also be monitored for signs of thromboembolic events, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or swelling of the legs. If any of these symptoms occur, immediate medical attention should be sought.

If you have any questions or concerns about using Tranexamic Acid 3% Topical Solution, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Tranexamic Acid 3% Topical Solution is a specialized liquid formulation designed for external application to the skin. This medication is primarily used in the treatment of various dermatological conditions such as melasma, hyperpigmentation, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It functions by inhibiting the enzyme plasmin, which is responsible for the breakdown of fibrin, a protein integral to the formation of blood clots. By inhibiting plasmin, tranexamic acid aids in reducing the visibility of dark spots and discoloration on the skin. Additionally, it helps alleviate inflammation and redness associated with these conditions.

When applied topically, tranexamic acid is absorbed through the skin and enters the bloodstream, where it works to treat the underlying condition. It is typically applied twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening. For optimal results, it should be used consistently for a minimum of two weeks. It is crucial to note that tranexamic acid can potentially cause skin irritation. Therefore, it is important to use it as directed and avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes.

Tranexamic Acid 3% Topical Solution is an effective treatment for melasma, hyperpigmentation, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It can significantly reduce the appearance of dark spots and discoloration, as well as alleviate inflammation and redness associated with these conditions. If you have any questions or concerns about using this formulation, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.
