Abstract

Post partum haemorrhage is the main cause of maternal mortality worldwide. Tranexamic acid is a cheap, easy to use and relatively safe medication that is gaining popularity as a management option for obstetric haemorrhage. It is already widely used to limit bleeding in trauma and many major surgeries. This review examines the evidence surrounding its use to control bleeding at the time of delivery.
