Today we will consider how this remedy is applied in the treatment of the last of the listed diseases, the pharmacological properties and methods of application of the drug.

How does thrombophlebitis develop and manifest itself

Superficial thrombophlebitis of the veins (speech often refers to the lower extremities) is an inflammation of the venous wall, combined with the formation of a thrombus. In modern medicine, it is believed that the process of clogging the veins of the vein with a thrombus and inflammation of its walls are processes that exist in close interconnection, stimulating pathological manifestations of each other.

In order to form a thrombus, enough damage to the venous walls, slowing the progress of the blood or increasing its coagulability. Any of the above causes may lead to the occurrence of varicose veins and thrombophlebitis.

It develops in varicose veins, sometimes accompanied by fever, redness, cord-like tightness and soreness of the vein. Above the inflammation zone there may be a slight puffiness.

Its composition is represented by the active substance - sodium heparin and auxiliary ones: ethanol 96%, carbomer 940, proamine, methyl lauryl hydroxybenzoate and propyl lar hydroxybenzoate. The gel contains purified water, orange blossom oil and lavender oil.

The main active substance of this drug is an anticoagulant. This is the name of the compound that inhibits (slowing) the coagulability of the blood and prevents the formation of fibrin, which entails the appearance of thrombi.

It should be mentioned that anticoagulants stop both the appearance and growth of already existing thrombi.
