Etamsylate is a synthetic antihaemorrhagic and angioprotective drug acting on the first step of haemostasis (endothelium-platelet interaction). By improving platelet adhesiveness and restoring capillary resistance, it is able to reduce bleeding time and blood losses. Etamsylate has no vasoconstrictor action, it does not influence fibrinolysis nor modify the plasma coagulation factors
