Uses of Heamaccel Injection 500ml

Heamaccel Injection 500ml is used in hospital to restore circulating blood volume quickly in people with shock caused by bleeding, burns, severe dehydration or surgery. It helps maintain blood pressure and blood flow to vital organs while the cause is treated and, if needed, a blood transfusion is arranged. It is not a substitute for blood where red cells are needed.

How Heamaccel Injection 500ml works

Polygeline is a solution of large gelatin molecules. Because these molecules stay within the blood vessels for several hours, they hold fluid in the circulation and increase the volume of blood, supporting blood pressure.

• Skin rash or hives

• Nausea

It is given with close monitoring; staff will stop the infusion and treat you immediately if signs of a serious allergic reaction appear, such as wheezing, a drop in blood pressure or swelling.

Precautions and warnings

• It is given in hospital or clinic by trained staff.
• Tell the team about allergies, especially any previous reaction to gelatin products, and other medicines.
• Let the team know if you have heart failure, kidney failure or high blood pressure, as too much fluid can strain the heart.
