METHOD(S) : A randomized, case controlled, prospective study was conducted on 100 women undergoing lower segment cesarean section (LSCS). Fifty of them were given tranexamic acid immediately before LSCS were compared with 50 others to whom tranexamic acid was not given. Blood loss was collected and measured during two periods. The first period was from placental delivery to end of LSCS and second from the end of LSCS to 2 hours postpartum. Hemoglobin, urine analysis, liver and renal functions were tested in both the groups.
