Oral Tranexamic Acid
for Melasma
A prescription tablet, originally used to reduce bleeding, that is also used off-label to fade melasma.
How it works
Reduces plasmin activity in skin cells, which is thought to dampen the UV-triggered pigment-stimulating pathway.
What to watch for
Carries a theoretical clotting risk — requires screening for personal/family history of blood clots before use; prescription only.
