An interventional study of Tranexamic acid injection and Dextrose 5% in water in Vaginal Bleeding and Prolonged Pregnancy, sponsored by Hawler Medical University. Completed at 1 site in Iraq. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 45 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-11-19.

Abruptio placenta is one of the common causes of antepartum haemorrhage which is more common in the second half of pregnancy and causes a high maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality
Abruption has been estimated to occur in 6.5 pregnancies per 1000 births, with an associated perinatal mortality rate of 119 per 1000 in the United States. A Cochrane database study revealed that there is no evidence from trials to show the best way to help pregnant women and their fetuses when there is a placental abruption. The baby may need to be delivered immediately, by cesarean section if alive, and often vaginally if the baby has died. Treatments include pain relief, blood transfusion, and monitoring. Bleeding during pregnancy is characterized by activation of the fibrinolytic system. Tranexamic acid is a potent pharmaceutical agent that suppresses fibrinolysis and thus can be used for managing hemorrhage in pregnancy. The FDA's pregnancy category for tranexamic acid is category B.
Exclusion Criteria:
This interventional arm will receive tranexamic acid 1 g(10ml) (2 ampules each of 500 mg, 5ML) of tranexamic acid in 20 ml Dextrose 5% in water intravenously twice daily in the acute stage of bleeding for 48 hours. Participants will be followed up for recurrence of bleeding during pregnancy. The course of treatment will be repeated again if bleeding recurred. The hospital data safety and monitoring board ensured the continued safety of the Participants.
Drug: Tranexamic acid injection
Participants will receive 30 mL of Dextrose 5% in water slowly intravenously immediately during the attack of the bleeding, twice daily for 48 hours. Accompanied with the usual expectant management care.
Other: Dextrose 5% in water
This interventional arm will receive tranexamic acid 1 g (10ml) (2 ampules each of 500 mg, 5ML) of tranexamic acid in 20 ml Dextrose 5% in water intravenously twice daily in the acute stage of bleeding for 48 hours. Participants will be followed up for recurrence of bleeding during pregnancy. The course of treatment will be repeated again if bleeding recurred. The hospital data safety and monitoring board ensured the continued safety of the Participants.
