Have you ever cut yourself in the kitchen? Who hasn’t! Maybe you have nicked yourself while shaving? Did you reach for the toilet paper? It doesn’t work all that well. If you are taking an anticoagulant, even a little scratch can make it hard to stop bleeding. That’s why a product like WoundSeal can be helpful.
Q. My wife takes a blood thinner. If she gets a tiny scratch, it bleeds and bleeds. We’ve tried black pepper, but it doesn’t help. What else would work?
Another reader had a somewhat similar question:
Q. I take blood thinners and spend a lot of time outdoors. I am looking for something I can carry in my first aid kit to stop bleeding in case I get a minor cut. What do you recommend?
A. We trust you are checking in with your doctor regularly to make sure that your anticoagulant dose is correct. Even if it is, however, you may bleed more easily than others because of your medication.
You might want to carry WoundSeal with you. This over-the-counter powder contains a polymer that mixes with blood to quickly form a scab and stop bleeding quickly.
It works for cuts, scratches and abrasions and is especially helpful for people like you who may bleed easily. You will find WoundSeal in pharmacies in the first aid section. If your pharmacy doesn’t carry it, you can order online at www.WoundSeal.com. (We have no connection to this company.)
