Introduction About STERSYL 250 INJECTION

STERSYL 250 INJECTION contains Ethamsylate, which belongs to the group of
medicines called Antihemorrhagic drugs. It is used to manage bleeding from the
blood vessels and to manage bleeding before or after an operation.

Ethamsylate exerts hemostatic action by improving platelet adhesiveness and
restoring capillary (blood vessels) resistance. It decreases bleeding time and
increases platelet clumping which reduces capillary bleeding and improves
capillary wall stability. Before the management, your doctor might want to do
certain blood tests to understand your existing condition.

in the synthesis of haemoglobin) or bronchial asthma. Before receiving STERSYL
