Drug Name
Styplon
Drug Uses
The styptic and astringent properties of Styplon, combined with anti-inflammatory and demulcent actions, facilitate hemostasis and help in the effective management of bleeding. Styplon tablets are useful when the following symptoms are displayed: bleeding gums; bleeding hemorrhoids; epistaxis; abnormal uterine bleeding or spotting; hematuria; hemoptysis as an adjuvant.
How Taken
3 times a day 2-3 tablets for 2-4 days until the bleeding is under control. The dosage can then be reduced to 2 times a day 1-2 tablets for 2-4 weeks. Half the dose for children.
Drug Class and Mechanism
Styplon naturally helps control hemorrage and bleeding. Hemorrhage is the most important complication in dental surgery and every dental surgeon longs for minimum hemorrhage after dental surgery to facilitate early recovery. Haemostasis is a complex process and depends upon the integrity of the capillary system, platelet population and quality and systemic functioning of other factors concerned with haemostasis and coagulation.

More Information
Fifty patients who visited the out-patient were followed up periodically once a month for a period of six months for evidence of recurrence of bleeding from the gums. No bleeding from the gums was noticed in these patients, except in two patients who complained of slight oozing during brushing. The maintenance of oral hygiene was comparatively poor in those patients.
