Amicar Information:
What is Amicar?
Amicar is the drug aminocaproic acid, a member of the hemostatic class of drugs that works by slowing blood clot breakdown. It is prescribed to control the bleeding caused by rapidly deteriorating blood clots following different types of surgery, certain bleeding disorders, prostate, cervix, lung, or stomach cancer, abruption of the placenta, or urinary tract bleeding following kidney, prostate, or cancer surgery. It is not prescribed to treat bleeding with other causes.
How do I take Amicar?
Amicar is prescribed as either a tablet or liquid, and is taken orally without regard to food; the tablet may be taken with water. When prescribed to control bleeding, it is typically taken once an hour for eight hours or until the bleeding is under control. If prescribed for ongoing bleeding, it is usually taken every three to six hours. However, the dosing schedule and strength of medication will be determined by your doctor and will depend on the condition being treated and your medical profile. When taking the solution, shake it thoroughly before dispensing. Follow the dosing instructions exactly. You doctor may alter the prescription over time, if necessary.
Before taking Amicar, tell your doctor if:
- You are allergic to aminocaproic acid or any of the ingredients in the Amicar medicine
- You are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or are nursing a child
- You are taking any prescription or non-prescription medications, vitamins, or supplements
- You have, or have had, blood clots
- You have kidney, heart, or liver disease
- You are having survery

What if I forget to take a dose of Amicar?

Do not alter the amount taken or change the dosing schedule to make up for the one missed.
