Patient concerns
FAQs
Can Tranguard Injection be given or injected into muscles?
No, Tranguard Injection should not be administered by injection into the muscles. It should be given strictly through slow injection into the veins to prevent side effects.
Is Tranguard Injection dangerous?
Every medicine has its own side effects and these side effects are unlikely to happen if taken as directed. Usually, the benefits of the medicine are greater than the risk of side effects. Tranguard Injection can rarely cause serious side-effects which can be dangerous, like anaphylaxis (red and lumpy skin rash, difficulty breathing, swelling of face, mouth, lips or eyelids), clot in another part of the body or eye problems. Do consult your doctor before you start this medication and follow the instructions strictly as given.
Can Tranguard Injection cause DVT?
Yes, Tranguard Injection promotes blood clotting, thereby preventing blood loss. However, in rare cases, this can lead to a chance of developing a clot in the deep leg veins, a condition known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Although many research studies have shown that the increased risk of clot can be due to some other additional factors rather than Tranguard Injection itself. This condition has been found to be more common in female patients taking Tranguard Injection. Do consult your doctor before you start this medication and follow the instructions strictly as given.
Can Tranguard Injection affect the colour vision of eyes?
Yes, there are chances of possible disturbances in your colour vision when you are on long term treatment with Tranguard Injection. Hence, regular eye check should be done during treatment and doctor should be informed if you notice any change in your vision. If any changes are seen your doctor may stop the medicine and suggest an alternative.
Can Tranguard Injection cause pulmonary embolism?
Tranguard Injection promotes blood clotting and can rarely cause blood clot to travel to the lungs (pulmonary embolism) which can turn fatal sometimes. Pulmonary embolism is not a common side effect in patients taking Tranguard Injection but can occur in overdosing, patients with long bedrest or prone individuals. Evidence suggests that the increased risk of clot can be due to some other additional risk factors as well.
Can you take Tranguard Injection on an empty stomach?
Tranguard Injection can be taken with or without food with a glass of water. The medicine should be swallowed as a whole and should not be crushed or chewed.
Can I take Tranguard Injection for more than 5 days?
The dose and duration of this medicine is decided by the type of disease for which it is prescribed. For heavy bleeding during monthly menstruation, it is usually taken for up to 5 days. For other conditions it can be prescribed for less than 5 days and even more that 5 days which is decided by the prescribing physician.
Does Tranguard Injection affect fertility?
No, Tranguard Injection does not affect fertility. It is taken for heavy menstrual bleeding and evidence suggests no interference of this medicine with ovulation (release of eggs from the ovaries). Therefore, this medicine is not a type of contraceptive medicine and it will not affect your chances of becoming pregnant.
Can Tranguard Injection be taken for nose bleeding?
Yes, Tranguard Injection can be used for nose bleeding. It helps to clot the blood and prevent bleeding. If the bleeding is frequently observed then the medicine can be even taken for a week.
