🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)
Pharmacokinetics
How It Works
Carbazochrome is a derivative of adrenochrome, which is an oxidation product of adrenaline. It is believed to act by stabilising capillary walls and promoting platelet aggregation, thereby reducing capillary permeability and bleeding. It may also have a mild vasoconstrictor effect on small blood vessels. The exact mechanism is not fully understood, but it is thought to involve the inhibition of capillary permeability factors and enhancement of platelet plug formation.
