What the Health Canada label says it is for
1 INDICATIONS CYKLOKAPRON® (tranexamic acid) is indicated for:  Hereditary angioneurotic oedema.  Increased local fibrinolysis when the diagnosis is indicative of hyperfibrinolysis, as with conization of the cervix, dental extraction in patients with coagulopathies (in conjunction with antihaemophilic factor) epistaxis, hyphaema, and menorrhagia (hypermenorrhea). 1.1 Pediatrics Based on the data submitted and reviewed by Health Canada, the safety and efficacy of CYKLOKAPRON in pediatric patients has been established for use in hereditary angioneurotic oedema and increased local fibrinolysis when the diagnosis is indicative of hyperfibrinolysis. Specific data is available for surgical patients undergoing cardiac and orthopedic surgeries. Therefore, Health Canada has authorized CYKLOKAPRON in these indications for pediatric use. For menorrhagia (hypermenorrhea), limited data are available to Health Canada. Clinical experience with CYKLOKAPRON in menorrhagic (hypermenorrhea) children under 18 years of age is not available. Therefore, Health Canada has not authorized CYKLOKAPRON for this indication for pediatric use. 1.2 Geriatrics Clinical studies … https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00063720.PDF PM date: DEC 05, 1995 Source product: CYKLOKAPRON 500 MG; DIN 02064405; fetched 2026-09-10 Product monograph posted by Health Canada; excerpt for lookup only.

Other review policies

For Tranexamic Acid Tablets: no applicable EAP criteria are held and no ODB benefit is established. These policies do not establish coverage.

For rare, immediately life-, limb- or organ-threatening circumstances, the Compassionate Review Policy may consider an unfunded drug or indication, subject to its criteria and without bypassing the drug review process. Compassionate Review Policy

Compassionate Review Policy: source quote
Where there are rare clinical circumstances in immediately life, limb, or organ-threatening conditions, the Executive Officer will also consider requests for drugs or indications in situations where there has not been a decision by the Executive Officer to provide funding of the drug or indication as part of the Ontario Drug Benefit program (and the EAP), and the drug or indication requested would not circumvent the established review process for new drugs or indications as part of the drug submission process for listing within the Ontario Drug Benefit program. Requests must meet the criteria for the Compassionate Review Policy.

For cancer drugs, Case-by-Case Review considers rare, immediately life-threatening circumstances when no satisfactory funded treatment exists; its criteria and application process apply. Case-by-Case Review (cancer drugs)

Case-by-Case Review (cancer drugs): source quote
Note: Requests for cancer drugs are considered under the Case-by-Case Review Program (CBCRP) which is administered by Ontario Health (Cancer Care Ontario) on behalf of the Ministry of Health. The CBCRP considers funding requests for drugs (both oral therapies and injectable drugs) for the treatment of cancer in patients who have a rare clinical circumstance that is immediately life-threatening (death is likely within a matter of months) and who require treatment with an unfunded drug, because there is no other satisfactory and funded treatment. Please refer to the Ontario Health website for information on the application process, FAQs, eligibility criteria and program policies.
