Monosemicarbazone Adrenochrome

Adrenochrome Monosemicarbazone is a fast-acting haemostatic agent. Its active ingredient is a water-soluble, stable derivative of adrenochrome, formed as its monosemicarbazone salt. Adrenochrome itself is a breakdown product of adrenaline, and it works by reducing capillary permeability, which shortens both normal and abnormal (pathological) bleeding time. It achieves this haemostatic effect at the capillary level without triggering the typical adrenaline-related actions on breathing or the cardiovascular system. In other words, although it acts on small blood vessels in a manner similar to adrenaline, it does not produce the broader systemic effects associated with sympathomimetic drugs.
