Representatives of the Lviv national medical university, named after Danylo Halytskyi, began the development of the drug in 2014 when Russia's war against Ukraine had a local character. Since February 24, 2022, the need for such a blood-stopping drug has become several times higher. On the front will not help the simplest means, for example, hydrogen peroxide. So scientists have created a drug that's even faster than foreign counterparts.
Rostyslav Bilyy, professor of histology, cytology, and embryology, Maksym Lutsyk, and Rostyslav Stoiko created a project of hemostatic and obtained a patent for it in 2016. However, at that time, there were many foreign drugs in Ukraine. In 2022, the project received a sponsor, the top manager of Dr Sandor Vari, a major American medical centre. And Ukrainian scientists managed to replicate the project, but with some changes. The Blood Clotting Activator, by some indicators, was better than the well-known Celox (United Kingdom) drug. The test results showed that the time of clotting after the use of the Ukrainian drug is twice (sometimes 3 times) shorter than other means.
Ukrainian drug is released in the form of powder. 10 grams is enough to make 100 ml of blood a thick gel — "cork" for a bleeding wound.
Currently, scientists do not import the drug but create it for the Ukrainian army. It is noted that volunteers buy the blood-stopping agent very quickly.
