Each row is one product from one pharmacy, shown in the pack size with the lowest price per unit; its other pack sizes are listed under “other pack sizes”. Price per unit = the pack price divided by the units in the pack, before shipping; we sort by it and don't assume how long a pack lasts. Total with shipping = the pack price plus the pharmacy's shipping fee for one order. Prices checked Nov 11, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars (converted when a pharmacy prices in Canadian dollars). The lowest price at the top of this page uses only packs whose maker the pharmacy names, or whose product country and ships-from country it states. Prices change often; confirm at checkout. U.S. rows: the cash price a U.S. pharmacy published on its own website on the date shown, plus its standard shipping; no insurance or discount cards.

What is Lysteda used for?
Lysteda (tranexamic acid) is an antifibrinolytic: it helps blood clots hold, which reduces bleeding. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used:
- To treat cyclic heavy menstrual bleeding (heavy periods) in females who can become pregnant.
The label dose is two 650 mg tablets (1,300 mg) three times a day, for up to 5 days during your monthly period; people with reduced kidney function take less. It must not be used with combined hormonal birth control (pills, patch or ring) or by people who have or have had blood clots or are at high risk of them. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order Lysteda from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for Lysteda, compare the U.S. price of FDA-approved generic tranexamic acid 650 mg before you order. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027. Lysteda isn't sold in Canada; Health Canada lists Cyklokapron 500 mg tablets, a different strength (Health Canada, checked 2026-11-11).
