Trasylol is mainly used in the medical field to reduce blood loss during major surgeries, especially those related to the heart, such as coronary artery bypass grafting. This drug works by inhibiting certain enzymes in the body known as proteinases, which are involved in the blood clotting process by reducing the activity of these enzymes. Trasylol helps reduce the possibility of excessive bleeding during surgical interventions, which contributes to improving surgical outcomes and reduces the need for blood transfusions.
Trasylol is used as part of cardiac and surgical protection strategies that aim to reduce complications associated with decreased blood flow during surgery.
