To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of tranexamic acid after oral administration to postpartum women.We conducted a single-center pharmacokinetic study at Teaching Hospital-Jaffna, Sri Lanka, on 12 healthy women who delivered vaginally. After 2 g immediate-release 1 hour delivery, parameters were measured plasma samples 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and hours. Plasma concentrations determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. The outcome measures maximum observed...
Pregnancy creates significant alterations in energy metabolism which itself is a physiological adaptation to provide continuous flow of metabolites the foetus. The state insulin resistance created by hormonal changes pregnancy enables free glucose foetus and allows its absorption through facilitated diffusion.
