Tan E 500 mg Tablet contains tranexamic acid, a medicine that helps a clot stay in place. It is used when bleeding is heavier than it should be, such as heavy periods, a nosebleed, bleeding after a tooth extraction, or bleeding linked to surgery, when a doctor has chosen it. Tranexamic acid slows the enzyme that dissolves clots, so the plug over a bleeding spot lasts longer. It does not make new blood, and it is not a pain tablet. Swallow it with or after food. It is a prescription medicine.

How Does It Work?
Once a clot forms, the body uses plasmin to break it down. Tranexamic acid blocks plasminogen from turning into plasmin, so the clot is broken up more slowly. Bleeding at the surface has more time to stop. That same action is why the tablet is avoided in people who already have a harmful clot. It does not raise the number of platelets. It only protects the clot that is already there.
Directions For Use
Take only the dose and number of days your doctor sets.
For heavy periods, it is often used just on the heavy days, not through the whole month.
Swallow the tablet whole with water, with or after food.
Do not chew or crush it.
Do not take extra tablets if one dose feels slow.
If you miss a dose, take it when remembered unless the next one is close. Do not double it.
Finish only the course that was prescribed. Do not keep a spare strip for the next bleed unless your doctor has said you may.
Safety Information
Prescription medicine. Do not share it.
Do not use it if you have a current blood clot in the leg, lung, brain, or eye, or if a doctor has told you that you clot too easily.
Tell your doctor about kidney disease. The dose often needs to be lower.
Mention a past clot, stroke, heart disease, seizures, or if you take the combined contraceptive pill or other hormones.
Rarely, colour vision can change. Stop the tablet and get your eyes checked if vision blurs or colours look wrong.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use it only if a doctor has decided the bleed needs it.
Keep out of children’s reach.
Store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight.
Possible Side Effects
FAQs
Q1. What is Tan E 500 mg Tablet used for?
Ans. It reduces unwanted bleeding. Doctors use tranexamic acid for heavy periods, nosebleeds, and bleeding after dental work or surgery. It helps a clot last longer.
Q2. Is Tan E a prescription medicine?
Ans. Yes. It is a prescription medicine. Do not take it for ordinary period pain, and do not use someone else’s strip because your flow looks heavy.
Q3. Do I take it every day of the month?
Ans. Usually no. For heavy periods, it is often limited to the heavy days, for a few days only. Follow the exact days and dose written for you.
Q4. Can I take it if I have had a clot?
Ans. Not unless a specialist has said so. Tranexamic acid protects clots. A past clot in the leg, lung or brain needs a doctor’s decision before any dose.
Q5. Why was I told to report eye changes?
Ans. Tranexamic acid can rarely affect colour vision. If colours look odd or sight blurs, stop the tablet and get your eyes checked. Do not wait for the course to end.
Q6. How should Tan E tablets be stored?
Ans. Keep the strip in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and sunlight. Store it out of children’s reach and use it before the expiry date.
