What are the main uses of Aprotinin (CAS: 9004-04-0)?

Answer

APROTININ
Aprotinin is primarily used as an antifibrinolytic agent to reduce blood loss during surgery, particularly in cardiac, orthopedic, and neurosurgical procedures. It is also used to decrease the need for blood transfusions and to treat acute blood loss. However, its use has been limited due to concerns about potential adverse effects such as kidney and lung complications.
