How Stazol Injection works
Stazol 50 Injection reduces the release of a chemical called bradykinin, that is responsible for causing breaking and leakage of blood vessels. This damage to blood vessels leads to sudden accumulation of fluids below the skin causing swelling (edema) as well as redness. Stazol 50 Injection blocks the action of bradykinin and treats angioedema.
