Why be part?

• You will find out if you have anaemia.
• If you have anaemia and take part, you will get further tests, iron and vitamin treatment along with the study tablets.
• We hope that the study tablets will help to treat your anaemia more than usual treatment alone but there is a 50:50 chance that you will get the study medicine (tranexamic acid or TXA) or placebo (a dummy tablet).
• TXA is not a new medicine – there are no common side effects. Rare side effects cannot be ruled out.
• The standard anaemia treatment and if we find any infestation which is causing your anaemia, treatment will be free.
