Dosing Information

Oral administration

  • An identical dosage regimen may be followed by administering aminocaproic acid tablets or aminocaproic acid oral solution as follows:
  • For the treatment of acute bleeding syndromes due to elevated fibrinolytic activity, it is suggested that 5 aminocaproic acid 1000 mg tablets or 10 aminocaproic acid 500 mg tablets (5 g) or 20 milliliter of aminocaproic acid oral Solution (5 g) be administered during the first hour of treatment, followed by a continuing rate of 1 aminocaproic acid 1000 mg tablet or 2 aminocaproic acid 500 mg tablets (1 g) or 5 milliliter of aminocaproic acid oral solution (1.25 g) per hour. This method of treatment would ordinarily be continued for about 8 hours or until the bleeding situation has been controlled.

IV administration

  • Aminocaproic acid injection is administered by infusion, utilizing the usual compatible intravenous vehicles (e.g., Sterile Water for Injection, Sodium Chloride Injection 0.9%, Dextrose Injection 5% or Ringer’s Injection). Although Sterile Water for Injection is compatible for intravenous injection, the resultant solution is hypo-osmolar. Rapid injection of aminocaproic acid injection undiluted into a vein is not recommended.
  • For the treatment of acute bleeding syndromes due to elevated fibrinolytic activity, it is suggested that 16 to 20 mL (4 to 5 g) of aminocaproic acid injection in 250 mL of diluent be administered by infusion during the first hour of treatment, followed by a continuing infusion at the rate of 4 mL (1 g) per hour in 50 mL of diluent. This method of treatment would ordinarily be continued for about 8 hours or until the bleeding situation has been controlled. * Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit.
