Transamin in Dental Treatment

Important: Transamin is a dangerous drug. Use it only as your dentist has prescribed.

Why this medicine is prescribed

Transamin slows the breakdown of blood clots, and is therefore used to control bleeding after an oral surgical procedure, in cases where the dentist judges that bleeding may be hard to stop.

Please take it only at the dose and for the length of time your dentist specified. Do not take this medicine on your own, do not use medicine left over from an earlier prescription, and do not share it with anyone else.

If you have abnormal bleeding, or if bleeding does not stop after a procedure, please contact the clinic immediately.
