Kallistat Injection

Kallistat Injection is used to reduce the risk of bleeding during and after surgery. The detailed uses of Kallistat Injection are as follows:

• Cardiac Surgery (e.g., Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting - CABG): Kallistat Injection helps reduce blood loss and the need for transfusions during and after surgery by inhibiting fibrinolysis and inflammation.
• Liver Transplantation and Other Major Surgeries (off-label in some regions): Kallistat Injection is used to manage bleeding risk in procedures with high potential for blood loss.
• Bleeding Disorders: Kallistat Injection is used to manage heavy menstrual bleeding, nosebleeds, or bleeding after dental or urological procedures.

Kallistat Injection contains aprotinin that belongs to the group of medicines called anti-fibrinolytic agents used to reduce bleeding during and after heart surgery. It also lowers the need for blood transfusion during and after heart surgery. Kallistat Injection inhibits the activation of coagulants. Thereby, Kallistat Injection prevents bleeding.
