We report the case of a patient with multiple trauma who developed pronounced anaphylactic shock, and was successfully treated with 1000 mg tranexamic acid intravenously (Exacyl). This antifibrinolytic agent is also a potent inhibitor of the complement system and its use for the prevention and treatment of anaphylactic or anaphylactoid shock is discussed.
