What's happening
Tranexamic Acid is currently affected by 4 active shortage reports filed with Health Canada by SANDOZ CANADA INCORPORATED, JAMP PHARMA CORPORATION, SEARCHLIGHT PHARMA INC, STERIMAX INC.
The reported causes are: requirements related to complying with good manufacturing practices; disruption of the manufacture of the drug; other (please describe in comments); demand increase for the drug. Manufacturers must report shortages, but end-date estimates are their own projections and often move.
If your usual product is affected, a pharmacist is the fastest route to a solution: they can dispense an unaffected manufacturer's equivalent when one exists, and in most provinces can adapt doses or substitute a therapeutic alternative without a new appointment.
Tranexamic Acid is classified under “ANTIFIBRINOLYTICS” (ATC B02AA).
