Abstract Background: During a cesarean section, the mother loses a lot of blood. This bleeding can cause a drop in hemoglobin and hematocrit. Tranexamic acid, an anti-fibrinolytic agent, is a novel approach in an attempt to prevent this dreadful complication. This study aims to explore the effect of intravenous tranexamic acid on hemoglobin and hematocrit level after cesarean section(CS) in women who were low risk in postpartum hemorrhage.Methods: This prospective randomised placebo-controlled clinical trial was carried out on 50 pregnant women referred to Izadi hospital, Qom, Iran, 2017. women were divided into two groups of 25 cases using block randomization. The study group, 25 women, received tranexamic acid 10 minutes before CS whereas the control group, 25 women received distilled water. Hemoglobin and hematocrit levels were measured before and 12-24 hours after delivery. Results: There was no significant difference in pre-operative and 12-24 h post-operative hemoglobin and hematocrit levels between the two groups(p>0.05). Conclusions: Pre-operative prescription of 1gr tranexamic acid was not associated with improvement of post-operative hemoglobin and hematocrit.Trial registration: IRCT20091010002558N7.
