Uses of Xamic 500 MG Injection

What is it prescribed for?
Short-term management of hemorrhage
A haemorrhage is a condition in which blood vessels are damaged and clots are formed. As a result, blood flow decreases. At the same time, blood loss or internal bleeding is high. Xamic 500 MG Injection is used to form stable clots which promote proper healing of blood vessels and reduce the risk of serious conditions.
Menorrhagia
Menorrhagia is a condition of prolonged and heavy menstrual bleeding. Xamic 500 MG Injection is widely used to control blood loss in this condition.
Preventing blood loss during surgeries
Xamic 500 MG Injection is used to prevent or control blood loss after surgeries such as adenoidectomy (a procedure used to remove adenoids, a patch of tissue present up in the throat and just behind the nose), tonsillectomy (a surgical procedure used to remove tonsils in the throat), dental extractions (procedures used to remove the teeth), gynaecological surgery, thoracic and abdominal surgery.
