Abstract
The use of tranexamic acid (TXA) is established in the treatment of bleeding, especially of bleeding due to hyperfibrinolysis. In recent years the prophylactic use of TXA in trauma and orthopedic surgery has increased leading to open questions regarding potentially associated risks and a possible classification as off label use. The available literature provides a sound basis for the recommendation that TXA can be used in these indications provided that an individual risk assessment is done in patients with increased risks for thromboembolic complications. Although the prophylactic use of TXA in orthopedic surgery and trauma is not explicitly listed in the product characteristics, it should not be regarded as an off label use.Entities:
