Sažetak
Tranexamic acid is a synthetic derivative of the amino acid lysine, an antifibrinolytic
that is primarily used to reduce bleeding in surgery, trauma, and dental procedures. Its anti-inflammatory
and anti-angiogenic properties, as well as its ability to suppress melanogenesis have enabled it to be used
in dermatology in the treatment of skin conditions such as melasma, acne, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation,
rosacea and angioedema. Tranexamic acid can be used by various routes of administration
including oral, topical and intradermal injection, and in combination with other treatment methods. This
review article presents evidence for the effectiveness of tranexamic acid in the treatment of various skin
disorders.
