Haemocoagulase
Uses of Haemocoagulase
Haemocoagulase is used to help control bleeding by supporting the body's natural blood clotting process. It is an enzyme preparation derived from snake venom, used in situations where faster clot formation is needed.
Haemocoagulase is commonly used for:
• Control of bleeding during surgery: Helps reduce blood loss during and after surgical procedures.
• Management of minor to moderate bleeding: Assists in controlling bleeding from wounds, injuries, or certain medical procedures.
• Prevention of excessive bleeding: Used to help reduce bleeding in patients at risk of significant blood loss, as advised by your doctor.
• Control of bleeding associated with certain bleeding disorders: Used, under medical supervision, in situations involving disturbances to normal blood clotting.
Side effects of Haemocoagulase
Allergic reactions
Coagulopathy
Gastric bleeding
Hypofibrinogenemia
How Haemocoagulase works
Haemocoagulase works by supporting and accelerating the body's natural blood clotting process.
Blood clotting normally happens through a series of steps involving a protein called fibrinogen, which is converted into fibrin strands that form the structure of a blood clot. Haemocoagulase contains enzymes that act on this process, helping to convert fibrinogen into fibrin more quickly at the site of bleeding.
This accelerated clot formation helps stop or reduce bleeding more rapidly than the body's natural clotting process alone.
Haemocoagulase acts at the site of bleeding to promote clot formation and is used under medical supervision, particularly in surgical settings or when managing bleeding-related complications.

Expert Advice
Dosage forms available
Haemocoagulase is available in the form of a topical solution or injectable (intravenously or intramuscularly).
Age and dose restrictions
The use of Haemocoagulase is suitable for both adults and children. However, for children below 12 years of age, the use of this medicine should be under the strict supervision of a doctor.
Contraindications
Haemocoagulase is contraindicated in patients with known allergies to the enzyme or any of its components.
It is also contraindicated in patients suffering from pre-existing coagulopathies or thrombotic disorders.
Other medications to avoid
Haemocoagulase can interact with anticoagulants (such as warfarin and heparin) and thrombolytic agents (like streptokinase).
Overdose and missed dose
- Haemocoagulase is typically administered under medical supervision, so the risk of accidental overdose is low. Excessive use may increase the risk of abnormal blood clot formation, although reports of overdose are uncommon. If you notice unusual symptoms after treatment, inform your doctor promptly.
As Haemocoagulase is generally administered under medical supervision, particularly for surgical or bleeding-related situations, a missed dose in the usual sense does not typically apply. Follow the schedule advised by your doctor.
Management of side effects
Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless and resolve when discontinuing this medicine. However, if you experience any severe side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.
If you experience a rash or any signs of an allergic reaction, discontinue use and consult your doctor immediately.
Use in driving and operating machinery
Haemocoagulase does not generally affect the ability to drive or operate heavy machinery. However, if you experience dizziness or any other side effects, it is advised not to drive or operate machinery.
Use in pregnancy and lactation
The safety of Haemocoagulase during pregnancy and lactation has not been thoroughly established. Consult your doctor before using this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Caution in other conditions
Patients with pre-existing coagulopathies or thrombotic disorders should exercise caution when administering Haemocoagulase as it may impact the blood's clotting ability.
Special dietary and lifestyle recommendations
Maintain a balanced diet to support overall health and well-being.
Ensure regular physical activity to promote circulation and general health.
Stay hydrated, especially if experiencing gastrointestinal disturbances.
Frequently asked questions

Is it necessary to monitor blood coagulation parameters while using Haemocoagulase?
Yes, it is important to closely monitor coagulation parameters while using Haemocoagulase, especially in patients with pre-existing coagulopathies or thrombotic disorders, to prevent potential complications.
Are there any long-term side effects of Haemocoagulase use?
Long-term side effects of Haemocoagulase are rare when used as directed. However, patients should be monitored for signs of allergic reactions or coagulation abnormalities.
How is Haemocoagulase typically stored?
Haemocoagulase should be stored according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight and moisture.
What is Haemocoagulase used for?
