How Carbazochrome works
Carbazochrome is an anti-haemorrhagic agent.
It works by promoting blood clotting and reducing bleeding. Specifically, it boosts the process of coagulation by increasing the clumping together (aggregation) and sticking (adhesion) of platelets, which are blood cells that help in clotting. This is achieved by Carbazochrome interacting with certain receptors (α-adrenoreceptors) found on the surface of platelets.
Acting as a chemical messenger, Carbazochrome speeds up the clotting process to help manage acute blood loss from damaged blood vessels or open wounds.
