Hemostatic Tablets

In the modern world, each of us, one way or another, faces bleeding of various kinds. Most often, these are nosebleeds, as well as those caused by trauma to the skin. There are other, more rare forms: intestinal, uterine, pulmonary, hemorrhoidal and others. In addition, long (chronic) bleeding can occur, for example, in Verlhof disease, in aplastic anemia and in capillarotoxicosis, which results in generalized bleeding.

In such situations, hemostatic tablets or the like in the injectable form are used. The latter are most often used by medical workers both in ambulance teams and in hospitals. Hemostatic tablets are mainly used in polyclinics, as well as at home.

What is the basis of the action of these drugs?

As mentioned above - bleeding most often develops as a result of damage (traumatization) of tissues and blood vessels. In the process of stopping bleeding, a whole range of factors participate, which are triggered by a cascade type. This means that some factors are formed as a result of the interaction of others and so on. As a result of the absence of any factor or disruption of his work, a cascade of hemostatic reactions stops, which ultimately leads to unceasing bleeding. It is in such cases that the first possible help is hemostatic tablets.

The most popular means is vikasol. This drug is used with a low content of prothrombin (one of the factors of blood coagulation). The reduced amount of prothrombin is most often caused by insufficient vitamin K in the body. Vikasol replenishes the lack of vitamin and normalizes the coagulation of blood. These hemostatic tablets are used for cirrhosis, jaundice, hepatitis, menopausal and ulcer bleeding.

The effect of using the drug develops after twelve to eighteen hours. Contraindicated use of vikasol in the acute period of myocardial infarction, as well as with thrombophlebitis.

The next most popular hemostatic drug is etamzilate. This pharmaceutical product is indicated for capillary hemorrhage, including for stopping bleeding from tissues and organs after surgical manipulation. With success, this remedy is used to stop bleeding from the nose and gingival hemorrhage. These hemostatic drugs base their action on strengthening the connection between the endothelium of blood vessels and platelets. This, in turn, stabilizes the capillary walls, reducing their permeability.

Ascorutin - another hemostatic tablet. The effect of using this drug develops after several days of taking. Ascorutin strengthens the walls of capillaries, reducing their fragility and permeability. In addition, this drug replenishes the lack of vitamins C and P, has antioxidant and radioprotective action.

Hemostatic drugs in pregnancy are most often listed above, as well as ditsionom, which is actively used in violation of monthly (heavy bleeding).

Thus, it is worth summarizing and saying that there are a huge number of drugs that somehow contribute to stop bleeding, but they are all effective and effective only in the case of competent and targeted use. That is why it is so important not only to eliminate bleeding, but also to know the reasons for which it developed, or the causes that cause the violation of natural hemostasis.
