Thrombophob Tube Of 20gm Ointment
Description
Thrombophob Ointment is a topical medication used to relieve swelling, pain, and local bruising caused by injury or certain medical conditions. It is particularly useful in the treatment of superficial thrombophlebitis, which is inflammation of a vein near the surface of the skin associated with a small blood clot. It can also help reduce visible bruises and speed up recovery from minor injuries by improving local blood circulation and easing discomfort.
The active ingredients in Thrombophob Ointment are heparin and benzyl nicotinate. Heparin is an anticoagulant that helps prevent the formation of new blood clots and assists in the gradual breakdown of existing clots. Benzyl nicotinate is a vasodilator that widens blood vessels, improving blood flow in the affected area. Together, these components reduce inflammation, promote healing, and relieve localised pain and swelling.
Other ointments that contain the same combination of heparin and benzyl nicotinate include Thrombotas and Thrombomark. While these products work in a similar way, the choice of brand often depends on availability, patient preference, or the doctor’s recommendation. Regardless of the brand, it is important to use the ointment only as prescribed to ensure both safety and effectiveness.
Thrombophob Ointment is for external use only and should never be applied to broken skin, open wounds, or mucous membranes. The affected area should be clean and dry before application. The ointment is usually applied in a thin layer and gently massaged into the skin, unless your doctor advises otherwise. Frequency and duration of use will depend on the condition being treated and your response to therapy.
Before using Thrombophob Ointment, inform your doctor if you have any bleeding disorders, allergies to its components, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid contact with your eyes and wash your hands after applying the ointment. If you notice persistent redness, irritation, rash, or worsening symptoms, stop using the product and seek medical advice. Following your doctor’s instructions carefully will help you get the maximum benefit from this treatment.
