Ethasyl 250 Tablet 10 contains etamsylate (250 mg) and works on your body in the following ways:

Increases Platelet Adhesion: Etamsylate increases the stickiness of platelets and enhances their ability to adhere together, which helps form blood clots.
Restores Capillary Resistance: This medicine helps restore the resistance of small blood vessels (capillaries), reducing bleeding from these vessels.
Promotes Platelet Adhesive Mechanisms: Etamsylate may promote P-selectin-dependent platelet adhesive mechanisms, further increasing the formation of blood clots to control bleeding effectively.

Pregnancy

If you are pregnant, caution is advised while taking Ethasyl 250 Tablet 10. It is best to consult your doctor before starting this medicine.

Breastfeeding
