“…The second trial, in which 334 premature infants received ethamsylate in the first 4 h after birth, showed no difference in incidence of IVH compared with placebo group. In both trials, long-term patient follow-up showed no benefits in neurodevelopmental outcomes and neuromotor or cognitive function (Elbourne et al, 2001;Schulte et al, 2005). Failure of indomethacin and ethamsylate to improve the IVH global outcome is probably attributable to the fact that although COX inhibition may prevent the initial increase in CBF causing IVH, it could lead to harmful neuronal effects.…”

“…Thus, the main effect of etamsylate falls on intact platelets, thereby potentially increasing the risk of blood clot formation, on the one hand, and remaining ineffective during non-capillary bleeding, on the other. [26][27][28][29] It should be noted that the Compound I did not cause spontaneous aggregation. This fact suggests that at the moment of induced aggregation the Compound I has a more selective effect on activated platelets and increases the overall hemostatic potential.…”

“…Ethamsylate (now renamed etamsylate) was first shown in 1981 to reduce IVH in a group of premature babies, 5 and recently a report on the outcome of survivors at the age of 3.5-4.2 years of a large multicentre trial 6 has been published. There was no reduction in the rate of either cerebral palsy or intellectual impairment when the two groups were compared.…”
