THERMOHEM OINT

Benefits

This combination gel is commonly used to treat conditions like varicose veins, superficial thrombophlebitis (inflammation of veins), and other issues associated with poor blood circulation in the veins. The gel is applied topically to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve blood flow in the affected areas.

How It Works

• Heparin Sodium: Heparin is an anticoagulant that prevents blood clot formation and reduces inflammation. By inhibiting clot growth, it promotes better blood flow in the affected area.
• Benzyl Nicotinate: A vasodilator that widens blood vessels to improve circulation, helping Heparin penetrate and work more effectively.
• Sorbic Acid: Primarily a preservative, Sorbic Acid stabilizes the gel formulation, maintaining its effectiveness.

Side Effects

Mild skin irritation at the application site, Itching, redness, or burning sensation, Rare allergic reactions
