Trapic 500

Uses
Trapic 500 is used for short periods of time to inhibit bleeding during various situations such as tooth extraction, menstruation, injury, heavy nosebleeds, or surgery. It can also be used to treat bleeding disorders such as hemophilia. These tablets belong to a group of medicines called anti-fibrinolytics which help a patient's blood to clot, stopping any bleeding more quickly.

Dosage and administration
Optimum dosage and the correct frequency of administration will be dependent on the exact condition being treated. Use only as advised by your doctor and ensure you disclose details such as your weight, health condition and concerns as well as other medicines you are taking (if any).

These tablets are taken orally, normally between 2 and 4 times a day alongside a glass full of water.

For best results you should aim to dose at the same time(s) each day. If you miss a tablet, never increase your next dose to compensate for missed doses as this will increase the likelihood of ill symptoms.
