which is the best instant medication to stop bleeding from minor cuts?

Answer 1

a plaster

Answer 2

Medication? Well for a minor cut you wouldn't really use medication. A simple bandage would help

If you do use medication for some reason, it would probably be a coagulant (blood clotting meds) followed by topical (applied onto skin or cut) antibiotic ointment and covered by an adhesive bandage.
They also have a powder you can sprinkle on a wound to help stop bleeding but it is often used in large wounds.

Answer 3

Hi there,
There is no medication on the market which stops bleeding...minor or major. With a small, minor cut, the bodies defence mechanism will automatically cause clotting in the wound (eventually a 'scab') within minutes and the bleeding will stop.

The only first aid action you should take is to clean the wound with water....water is in fact, just as effective as antiseptic creams and lotions from shops...to remove any dirt and germs in the wound; and then apply a dressing (eg: plaster/band aid) to prevent infection from dirt/germs while the wound is open.

I would not rely on any medication. I really dont think they have anything to stop bleeding. The only thing you can do is apply pressure right on the wound. Also, keep elevated.

best way to stop bleeding from any cut is pressure, not medication.

pressure first, elevation, clean it, and put on a liquid band-aid.
