Monosemicarbazone Adrenochrome

Anti-fibrinolytic drugs Prescription

Indications

Anaroxyl is used to help prevent and control capillary bleeding, whether it occurs during surgery or arises from other, non-surgical causes.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

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.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

During pregnancy, doctors weigh the expected benefits of Monosemicarbazone Adrenochrome against its possible risks to the unborn baby before recommending its use.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Dosage Reference

⚠️ Reference ranges from official sources only. Consult your doctor for personalized dosing.

Adults: For the prevention and treatment of capillary bleeding, 4 to 12 tablets are taken over the course of the day, depending on the severity of the case, preferably one hour before meals. Before surgery, treatment is started on the evening beforehand, given either orally or by intramuscular or subcutaneous injection of usually 1.5 to 5 mg, with a further injection given about half an hour before the operation. Injections should be given by the intramuscular or subcutaneous route, though in emergencies they may be given intravenously. Tablets should be taken orally.
