Thrombophob Tube Of 20gm Gel
Medical Description
Thrombophob gel is a topical medicine used to reduce swelling, pain, and local bruising. It is also helpful in treating superficial clots in thrombophlebitis (inflammation of a vein related to a blood clot) and superficial bruising. Thrombophob contains a combination of heparin and ethanol as its active components.
Thrombophlebitis is an inflammatory process in which a blood clot forms and blocks one or more veins, usually in the legs. The affected vein might be near the skin's surface or deep within a muscle. Bruise forms when a blow breaks blood vessels near your skin's surface, allowing a small amount of blood to leak into the tissues under your skin. This may cause a bruise.
This gel widens the blood vessels and prevents blood clot formation. It also increases the blood flow to the affected area. Thrombophob ointment is used for external application and must be applied as the doctor recommends.

Mode of Action of THROMBOPHOB TUBE OF 20GM GEL
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.
