Description
Thrombophob gel is a topical medication used to help reduce swelling, pain, and bruising on the skin. It is especially useful when you have a minor injury or after a bump that causes a bruise. This gel can also help treat conditions like superficial thrombophlebitis, which is the inflammation of a vein caused by a blood clot just under the skin.
The main ingredients in Thrombophob gel are heparin and ethanol. These work together to improve blood flow in the affected area and reduce the chances of blood clots forming. Heparin is a well-known blood thinner, while ethanol helps with quick absorption and soothing the area.
Thrombophlebitis occurs when a blood clot forms in a vein, resulting in redness, swelling, and pain. It typically affects veins near the skin's surface, often in the legs. On the other hand, a bruise occurs when small blood vessels under the skin are damaged, causing blood to leak into nearby tissues and form a visible mark.
When you apply Thrombophob gel, it works by widening the blood vessels and improving circulation in the area where it’s applied. This helps the body heal more quickly and reduces pain and swelling. It also helps break down small clots under the skin and prevents new ones from forming.
This gel is intended for external use only and should be applied exactly as directed by your doctor. Do not apply it to open wounds or near the eyes and mouth. If you notice any irritation or worsening of symptoms, discontinue use and consult your doctor. Always wash your hands before and after using the gel.

Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
- Thrombophob gel works by the combined action of both of its components - heparin and benzyl nicotinate.
- Heparin is an anticoagulant that works by blocking certain chemical substances (eg. thrombin and fibrin) involved in the blood clotting process. Thus, heparin ultimately helps to reduce blood clots formation in your body....
- Benzyl Nicotinate is a vasodilator; it widens the blood vessels and enhances local heparin absorption. Hence, the healing process is substantially improved and pain is rapidly reduced.
Interactions
Interactions with other medicines
Since Thrombophob gel is for external use, it is less likely to interact with other medicines. However, you should always consult your doctor if you are currently taking any other medicines, herbal products or supplements to treat other health conditions....
Interactions with food items
There are no known specific food interactions with Thrombophob Gel.
