Ethamnol 500 Tablet 10 contains etamsylate (500 mg), which has the following mechanisms of action:

• Enhances platelet adhesiveness: Etamsylate promotes platelet adhesion through P-selectin-dependent mechanisms. Platelets are tiny blood cells that help your body form clots to stop bleeding.

• Improved capillary resistance: This refers to the ability of the small blood vessels in your body to resist changes in pressure without rupturing. By enhancing capillary resistance, etamsylate helps prevent excessive bleeding.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• If you suffer from dysfunctional uterine bleeding (menorrhagia), consider increasing your iron intake to compensate for blood loss. Iron-rich foods like leafy greens, legumes, and fortified cereals could be beneficial.

• For those taking this medicine to manage surgical or post-surgical capillary bleeding, it's advisable to avoid activities that increase the risk of bleeding or injury. This includes high-contact sports or using sharp objects without care.
