About Beclot Injection 5 ml

Beclot Injection 5 ml belongs to the class of medications called ‘anti-fibrinolytic drugs. It is mainly used to treat abnormal bleeding in various conditions such as menorrhagia (heavy bleeding in periods), epistaxis (nose bleeds), cervical surgery (conization of the cervix), post-prostatectomy (prostate surgery), post-cystectomy (bladder surgery), traumatic hyphaema (bleeding inside the eye), before tooth removal (dental extraction) in hemophiliacs (people who bleed more easily than normal) and a hereditary disease called angioneurotic oedema (HANO).

Beclot Injection 5 ml contains an anti-fibrinolytic drug, tranexamic acid. Tranexamic acid helps the body's natural blood clotting system by reducing fibrin breakdown, which inhibits fibrinolysis, a process that limits the development of blood clots. As a result, Beclot Injection 5 ml contributes to the prevention of excessive bleeding.

Beclot Injection 5 ml is a parenteral form. It will be administered by the healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Beclot Injection 5 ml may cause side effects such as feeling sick (nausea), diarrhoea, vomiting, itchy skin, and pain at the injection site. These side effects usually disappear with time. However, consult your doctor immediately if these side effects persist or if you develop any other serious side effects, such as vision problems while using Beclot Injection 5 ml.

If you are allergic to Beclot Injection 5 ml or any other medicines, please inform your doctor. Inform your doctor if you have pre-existing or a history of kidney disease, disseminated intravascular coagulation (a disease where blood clots form throughout your body), thrombosis (formation of blood clots in the blood vessels) or seizures (fits), as this medicine is not recommended in such cases. Also, inform your doctor before receiving this injection if you are using any birth control pills or fibrinolytic agents (medicines that dissolve blood clots) or if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Your doctor may advise regular eye tests and blood tests to check your vision problems and also liver/kidney functioning.
