ETHAMLATE 500 & Etamsylate (500mg) : Benefits, Uses, Side Effects and Other Information.

Introduction

Etamsylate 500 mg tablet, also known by the brand name ETHAMLATE 500, is a hemostatic agent used to prevent and control abnormal bleeding. It acts by improving platelet adhesiveness and capillary resistance, thereby reducing bleeding time and blood loss. Etamsylate is especially useful in bleeding disorders that occur without blood clotting abnormalities.

Composition of Etamsylate 500 mg Tablet

• Active Ingredient: Etamsylate 500 mg

This formulation does not interfere with the normal blood clotting cascade but stabilizes blood vessels and enhances platelet activity, making it a safer option in certain bleeding conditions.

Etamsylate Tablets 500mg Uses

Etamsylate 500 mg is used to prevent and control internal and external bleeding, especially in the following conditions:

1. Menorrhagia (Heavy Menstrual Bleeding)

• Reduces excessive blood loss during menstruation.

• Improves quality of life in women suffering from chronic heavy periods.

2. Postoperative Hemorrhage

• Used after surgeries like ENT, dental, or gynecological procedures to prevent bleeding.

3. Epistaxis (Nose Bleeds)

• Helps in controlling spontaneous or trauma-induced nosebleeds.

4. Hematuria

• Beneficial in managing blood in the urine due to infection or trauma.

5. Capillary Fragility in Diabetics

• Used to strengthen fragile blood vessels in diabetic retinopathy or other microvascular complications.

6. Periventricular Hemorrhage in Neonates

• Occasionally used in neonatal care to prevent intracranial bleeding in premature babies (under supervision).

How Does Etamsylate Work?

Etamsylate acts on the vascular wall and platelets by:

• Enhancing platelet adhesiveness to damaged blood vessels.

• Increasing capillary resistance, reducing leakage and blood loss.

• Not interfering with normal coagulation pathways (unlike anticoagulants or antifibrinolytics).

Dosage and Administration

• Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dose and duration.

• Can be taken with or after food to reduce gastric discomfort.

Etamsylate Side Effects

Etamsylate is generally well-tolerated. However, some users may experience:

• Nausea or vomiting

• Headache or dizziness

• Skin rash or itching

• Abdominal pain

• Hypotension (rare)

• Flushing or warmth

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience allergic reactions or severe side effects.

Precautions and Warnings

• Pregnancy & Lactation: Use only if clearly needed and prescribed by your doctor.

• Bleeding Disorders: Not suitable for bleeding due to clotting deficiencies like hemophilia.

• Liver/Kidney Disorders: Caution advised; consult your physician.

• Concomitant Use: Avoid with anticoagulants unless directed.

Drug Interactions

Etamsylate may interact with:

• Anticoagulants (e.g., Warfarin, Heparin): May reduce effectiveness.

• NSAIDs: Increased risk of gastric bleeding when combined.

Always inform your doctor about all ongoing medications.
