How it works:
Mechanism of Action: Alstat 250mg Tablet works by making platelets stick to the location of blood vessel injury and making small blood vessels less brittle by strengthening their resistance.
It also makes capillaries less permeable, which stops blood from leaking out of small channels.
This procedure stabilizes the arterial wall and helps normal clots form, which shortens the time it takes for bleeding to stop without changing the overall coagulation factors too much.
Important Effects:
Encourages the development of platelet plugs
Makes the walls of capillaries stronger
Makes blood vessels less fragile
Stops or controls bleeding from capillaries

Medicine/Class Effect Advice
Warfarin and heparin are examples of anticoagulants. It goes against the blood-thinning effect. Don't use it at the same time as something else unless your doctor says to.
Drugs that stop platelets, such as aspirin and clopidogrel, could weaken the hemostatic effect. Talk to your doctor about NSAIDs (Ibuprofen, diclofenac). They make the stomach more irritated and likely to bleed Don't use combined hormonal birth control. No major interactions; safe with the doctor's advice.
Tranexamic acid is a hemostatic agent. Potential additional clotting impact: Only use if your doctor says to.
Before you start using Ethamsylate, tell your doctor about all the drugs and supplements you are already taking.
