Ointment for stomach bleeding caused by blood thinners
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a traditional Chinese medicine ointment (Yiwei Jiaohuang) for people who have mild to moderate gastrointestinal bleeding while taking blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs. The ointment is applied to the skin over the belly area and may help stop the bleeding without needing to stop your heart or stroke medications.
