Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Uses

Sepgard Rapid Gel controls bleeding and prevents wound infection. The detailed uses of Sepgard Rapid Gel are as follows:

  • Stops bleeding: Sepgard Rapid Gel promotes clot formation at the site of injury, helping to stop bleeding quickly.
  • Forms protective gel layer: Sepgard Rapid Gel shields the area from infection and protects from external contaminants.

Medicinal Benefits

Sepgard Rapid Gel is composed of Feracrylum, which is a local hemostatic and topical antiseptic agent. It works by forming a complex with albumin protein and promotes clot formation to prevent bleeding. It also has antimicrobial action and prevents infection in post-operative wounds, cuts, burns, and abrasions. It controls intra- and post-operative oozing and ensures a clear field of vision. Feracrylum also aids in the healing of the bleeding surface and reduces the frequency of cauterisation (heating the body tissues to prevent bleeding) and the need for blood transfusion.
