R W H Tavenner
PMCID: PMC1788190  PMID: 4537105

Abstract

Bleeding after dental extraction was controlled with tranexamic acid in 19 patients with haemophilia and 3 with Christmas disease. The results were slightly better than those obtained with aminocaproic acid; the dose used was smaller; and side effects were few.
