Thrombophob Ointment 20gm

Thrombophob Ointment is used for the following:

• Managing symptoms of superficial thrombophlebitis: This condition involves inflammation of veins just beneath your skin due to a blood clot.

• Handling acute tendovaginitis: It's an inflammation of the tendon sheath, often caused by overuse or injury.

• Reducing hematoma: A hematoma is a collection of blood outside the blood vessels, usually caused by an injury.

• Minimising superficial bruises: These are bruises that appear on the surface of your skin.

Use Thrombophob Ointment as follows:

• Before applying, make sure the affected skin area is clean and dry. Washing it with soap and water and patting it dry with a towel would be ideal.

• Apply the ointment evenly on the affected area using your fingertip or a clean cotton swab.

• Gently massage the ointment into your skin, ensuring you cover all of the affected area with a thin layer.

• Always wash your hands after using the ointment, to avoid spreading any potential infection.

Thrombophob Ointment is applied topically.

Thrombophob Ointment is a combination medicine with two active ingredients:

• Heparin (50 IU): This is an anticoagulant that works by preventing further clot formation and extension. It aids in breaking down existing clots and facilitates the resorption of superficial microthrombi. By doing this, it reduces inflammation and swelling by decongesting the affected veins.

• Benzyl Nicotinate (2 mg): This ingredient acts as a vasodilator which means it helps widen blood vessels. The increase in blood flow to the affected area promotes better absorption of heparin into the site. This enhanced local penetration of heparin aids healing and provides relief from pain.

• Store Thrombophob Ointment at room temperature, ideally between 20°C and 25°C.

• Shield it from direct sunlight and heat sources.

• Keep the tube securely closed when not in use to avoid exposure to air and moisture.

• If you're managing conditions like superficial thrombophlebitis with Thrombophob Ointment, try incorporating regular, light exercise into your routine. This could include walking or swimming, which can help improve blood circulation and reduce the risk of clot formation.

• A diet rich in fibre can support vein health. Include whole grains, fruits, and vegetables in your meals. This can help manage your weight, reducing pressure on your veins and potentially preventing further clot development.
