Postpartum hemorrhage and its complications are very well known causes for maternal mortality .Uterine atony is the most common cause for postpartum hemorrhage
Postpartum hemorrhage and its complications are very well known causes for maternal mortality and morbidity especially in developing countries. World Health Organization Recommendations for Active Management of the Third Stage of Labor (AMTSL), on 2012 included the use of uterotonics for the prevention of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) during the third stage of labor for all births. Tranexamic acid (TA) is antifibrinolytic agent used to decrease blood loss in surgery and health conditions associated with increased bleeding.

A Cochrane Systematic Review from the best available evidence to determine whether TA is effective and safe for preventing PPH in comparison to placebo or no treatment the review concluded that TA (in addition to uterotonic medications) decreases blood loss postpartum and prevents PPH and blood transfusions following vaginal birth and abdominal delivery in women at low risk of PPH based on studies of mixed quality. There was insufficient evidence to draw conclusions about serious side effects and the effects of TA on venous thromboembolic events and mortality beside its use in high-risk women was not investigated on
