Injecting styptic powder should have side effects - CatBalls - 04-12-2014
Styptic powder is not meant to be injected. Blood clots are a serious thing, too. It would be nice if styptic powder still stopped your bleeding, but had a chance to cause clot related problems at the moment it was injected.
Upon injection, you could get a message that says "You feel a horrible cramp in your leg." This is deep vein thrombosis. It has a chance to go away, or a chance to break loose and become a pulmonary embolism, which would cause you to have a hard time breathing, then die. Blood thinners would clear it up. Warfarin isn't in the game, but alcohol could have some percent chance of fixing it.
Related: A blood thinner related mechanic would be hilarious. Drunk and bleeding? SO MUCH MORE BLEEDING.

On that note it would be neat if enough brute damage caused bleeding, it would be especially be fun for someone to slip bloodthinners into drinks then start bar fights.

Styptic kinda does have side effects if you inject it, injection (from syringes) will make it do tox damage instead of healing brute. Same for silver sulf I think? It's less detailed than this suggestion but it's already a thing.
You may have missed it because hyposprays apparently cram stuff directly into your blood, so it can skip certain special effects from touch/ingestion/etc.
