CARBAZOCHROME
About
CARBAZOCHROME belongs to the class of haemostatic agents. It is used in the treatment of haemorrhage (bleeding). Hemorrhage is an acute loss of blood from a damaged blood vessel.
CARBAZOCHROME contains Carbazochrome, a hemostatic agent that promotes clotting, preventing blood loss from open wounds. It works by increasing platelet aggregation and forms a platelet plug by interacting with α-adrenoreceptors on the surface of platelets.
The common side effects may include injection site reactions and hypersensitivity reactions. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
Before taking CARBAZOCHROME, let your doctor know about all your medical conditions, sensitivities, and medications you are using. Also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
