Potential side-effects include nausea and vomiting and hypotension. Concerns also remain about the potential to precipitate thromboembolic events. In this meta-analysis, they sought to assess whether preoperative tranexamic acid reduces intraoperative bleeding rates and whether it is well-tolerated.
