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

• 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.
