Description

Lioton 500 Gel is an anticoagulant that contains Heparin as its primary ingredient. It is used to treat post-injection superficial thrombophlebitis by applying it to the skin (inflammation of a vein

due to a blood clot). It reduces pain and swelling while speeding up the production of blood clots. The formation of blood clots results in obstruction of one or more veins, generally in the legs. Lioton 500 Gel prevents blood clots from forming near the skin's surface. It dissolves clots and increases blood flow, which relieves pain and inflammation. This cream is for external use only. The course of treatment should be completed for best results. Side effects like itching, irritation, and dryness can be observed but are usually temporary. If these side effects do not go away, consult your doctor.
