This is a prospective, randomized, single-center, double-blinded, placebo controlled study comparing efficacy and safety of topical intranasal tranexamic acid for epistaxis. The primary outcome was time to control of bleeding and secondary outcomes were length of stay in the emergency department, re-bleeding within the first 24 hours, and re-bleeding at one week. Safety outcomes were the incidence of thromboembolic events and other drug-related adverse events.
