Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Tranexamic acid will be administered in the study to evaluate its effect on decreasing total blood loss in total knee replacement when given through intravenous route as a single large dose / multiple divided doses at different timings of the procedure.   GROUP A- Receive single bolus of 20mg/kg IV-TXA 20mins. before inflation of the torniquet . GROUP B- Receive two boluses of 10mg/kg IV-TXA 20mins before inflation of torniqet and before deflation of the tourniquet. GROUP C- Receive two boluses of 10mg/kg IV-TXA before deflation and three hours after 1 st dose. GROUP D- Receive two boluses of 10mg/kg IV-TXA before inflation and three hours after deflation. GROUP E- Receive placebo(no treatment/ control group).
