Cyclonamine is a medicine with anti-haemorrhagic and angioprotective (protective of blood vessels) action. It acts selectively on the walls of blood vessels, sealing them and preventing their fragility and brittleness. By improving platelet adhesion and restoring the strength of capillary walls, it reduces bleeding time and minimizes blood loss.

In internal diseases: prevention and treatment of capillary bleeding of various aetiologies and locations: haematuria, haematemesis, blood in stool, epistaxis, bleeding gums.
