It has a systemic and local hemostatic effect in bleeding, which is associated with an increase in fibrinolysis (menorrhagia, platelet pathology). Also, tranexamic acid has an anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the formation of kinins, other active peptides involved in reactions of this type.
