Cyklokapron is used short-term in people with hemophilia to prevent and reduce bleeding from tooth extractions. It is also used in people with other high-risk bleeding conditions to control bleeding after surgery, injury, heavy nosebleeds, or heavy menstrual bleeding.

Tranexamic acid, the active ingredient in Cyklokapron, works by helping the blood clot normally to prevent and stop prolonged bleeding. It belongs to a class of drugs known as anti-fibrinolytics.
