Description

Brino 250mg is an oral capsule manufactured by Sami Pharmaceuticals, containing Tranexamic Acid as its active ingredient. Supplied as 20 capsules per pack, it is a synthetic antifibrinolytic agent used to help control and reduce excessive bleeding across a range of medical situations.

Ingredients

Each capsule contains 250mg of Tranexamic Acid, a synthetic derivative of the amino acid lysine, combined with standard pharmaceutical excipients that support the capsule’s formulation and consistent absorption once taken.

Dosage Form

Brino is manufactured as an oral capsule, packaged 20 capsules per box, meant to be swallowed with a glass of water.

Uses

Brino 250mg is used to manage heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), helping reduce excessive flow and related symptoms such as fatigue. It is also used to control or prevent bleeding in individuals with bleeding disorders such as hemophilia, during surgical or dental procedures where significant blood loss is a concern, and for other situations involving excessive bleeding, such as nosebleeds. It works by stabilizing blood clots that have already formed, preventing them from breaking down too quickly and helping the body control bleeding more effectively.

How to Use

Take Brino exactly as prescribed by your physician, generally with or without food, though taking it with meals may help if stomach upset occurs. Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water; do not open or chew it. For heavy menstrual bleeding, this is often taken several times a day during the affected days of the cycle, while dosing for other conditions varies based on the specific situation and severity. Always follow your doctor’s exact dose and duration rather than adjusting treatment independently.

Side Effects

Commonly reported effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort. Some patients experience headache, dizziness, or mild nasal congestion. Less commonly, allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling have been reported, and any difficulty breathing or facial swelling should be treated as a medical emergency. Because Tranexamic Acid works by stabilizing clots, it carries a rare but recognized risk of increasing clot formation, so caution is essential in individuals with a personal or family history of blood clots, stroke, or related cardiovascular conditions.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

The safety of Brino during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been firmly established, so it should be used with caution and only if a physician determines the potential benefits outweigh the risks. Anyone who is pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing should consult their doctor before starting this medicine.

Storage Instructions

Store Brino capsules at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep the capsules in their original packaging until needed, and store them safely out of children’s reach. Do not use capsules beyond their expiry date.
