Tachosil Medium 4.8cm X 4.8cm Patch is a combination of two medicines: Fibrinogen and Thrombin. These are proteins which are involved in the natural clotting process. Thrombin works by converting Fibrinogen into smaller units (called fibrin) which then stick together leading to rapid formation of a blood clot. The clot helps to stop the bleeding and seals the wound.

Inform your doctor if you have had a heart attack or a history of poor blood supply to the heart (coronary heart disease) or if you are suffering from liver disease. Seek immediate medical attention if your experience sudden skin reactions, difficulty in breathing, fall in blood pressure, or dizziness. Inform your doctor if you have a condition that make you more prone to blood clots than normal (thromboembolic disorders).
