IndustraCareCongealant Haemostatic First Aid Aerosol Spray 70ml - Stops Minor Wound Bleeding Fast - Twin Pack

Because of medication if I cut or graze myself I bleed for a very long time. But by spraying this on the wound it is sealed very quickly. I keep one upstairs and one downstairs. I definitely recommend this product.

I take apixaban (blood thinners due to 3 large blood clots in my left leg) and have been looking for a product that I could have in our 1st kit so I can stem bleeding from minor cuts. I used this product on my finger as I had a papercut. I followed the instructions and there was no issue. So one evening, when I accidently cut my toe nail too low and had a small graze I went to use the spray. Again I followed the instructions and everything seem to be ok. The next morning there seemed to be nothing strange until later in the morning when I started to feel that my sock was perhaps rubbing the inside of my big toe and the toe next to it. When I removed my sock, the whole area where the spray had been was blistered, red, painful and bleeding. I visited my local Pharmacy to see if they had any ideas what it might be (forgetting at the point that I had used the spray). The Pharmacy I visited is also where all my medications are issued from (and there are a lot of them) so they know what medications I am on. They asked if I had used any off the shelf lotions in the last 24hrs and I showed them this product as listed on Amazon. It seemed that I had had a reaction to it but I was advised to go to A&E with the product to be on the safe side. I saw an on call haematologist (as the reaction is on the left where the clots are and the A&E Doctor wanted to make sure it was nothing to do with the clots) who advised that the ingredients in the spray react with ingredients in apixaban and to discontinue using it. I was given a course of anti biotics (as a precautionary measure) with the advice of keeping it dry and cleaning as much as possible.In conclusion I personally would not recommend using this product without consulting medical advise 1st.
