Aminocaproic Acid (Amicar) in humans is used to stop bleeding post-operatively and in hemophiliacs by inducing clotting. To the best of my knowledge it has never been tested for pulmonary bleeding in horses.
Personally I think it’s rather risky to induce clots in a horse’s lungs, which is essentially pulmonary thrombosis and can be fatal.
