Consumer:The use of tranexamic acid is contraindicated in patients with acquired defective color vision, since this situation precludes the use of one of the ophthalmologic testing parameters as an indicator of drug toxicity. Poorly characterized visual abnormalities have been reported in patients during tranexamic acid therapy. Retinal degeneration in a variety of animal species (not human) at oral and IV doses 3 to 40 times the recommended human dosage has been noted. Ophthalmologic testing (visual acuity, color vision, eyeground, and visual fields) prior to and at regular intervals during treatment is recommended for patients treated longer than several days.
