Ethamo 250mg Injection 2ml contains etamsylate (250 mg), which has a specific mechanism of action in the body:

• Reduces Prostacyclin Synthesis: Etamsylate works by lowering the production of prostacyclin, a potent substance that widens blood vessels and prevents blood platelets from clumping together. By doing so, it supports blood clotting and helps reduce bleeding.

• Enhances Platelet Aggregation: Etamsylate stimulates the expression of a protein called P-selectin on the surface of platelets. This enhances platelet aggregation, further aiding in stopping blood loss.

• Improves Capillary Resistance: Etamsylate strengthens small blood vessels known as capillaries, thus preventing capillary bleeding effectively.

• Keep Ethamo 250mg Injection 2ml in its original packaging.

• Store it at room temperature below 30°C.

• Protect the medicine from exposure to light.

• Place it in a secure location, out of reach of children.

• Check the expiry date on the package and ensure you use the medicine before this date.

• If you're using Ethamo 250mg Injection 2ml, consider eating iron-rich foods like spinach, lentils, and fortified cereals to help replenish iron stores and manage anaemia associated with excessive blood loss.

• Eating a fibre-rich diet, including whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, for patients with gastrointestinal bleeding, can support digestive health and potentially reduce further irritation or damage to your digestive tract.
