Thrombophob Gel 20Gm

Thrombophob Gel is used on the skin to ease inflammation and swelling in veins close to the surface and to relieve pain from bruises, knocks and muscle injuries.

Uses of Thrombophob Gel are:

• Superficial Thrombophlebitis: Eases inflammation and clot-related swelling in veins just beneath the skin.
• Bruises and Injuries: Helps reduce pain and swelling from bruises, knocks and muscle injuries.
• Tenosynovitis: Helps relieve inflammation of the tissue surrounding a tendon.

To apply Thrombophob Gel, follow these instructions:

• Clean the skin area where you will apply the gel.
• Apply the gel in a thin layer onto the affected area as advised by the doctor.
• Do not rub or massage the gel into your skin.
• If you have an open wound, only apply the gel to the surrounding outer skin, not directly on the wound.
• Remember to always consult your doctor for personalised advice tailored to your health needs.

Thrombophob Gel is applied topically.

Thrombophob Gel is composed of two active substances that work together to provide relief:

• Ethanol (0.5 gm): This ingredient serves as a local anaesthetic, providing relief from pain in the affected area. Additionally, being a volatile solvent, ethanol enhances the absorption of heparin through the skin.
• Heparin (200 IU): As an anticoagulant, it prevents blood clotting by activating a substance in your body known as antithrombin III. This action reduces the formation and growth of blood clots. Furthermore, heparin increases the permeability of the vein wall which aids in reducing inflammation or swelling.
• In combination, these ingredients increase local blood flow, break down existing clots and prevent new ones from forming thereby managing inflammation effectively when massaged over the inflamed area.

• Store Thrombophob Gel below 25 °C.
• Avoid exposure to direct heat and moisture.
• Ensure the gel tube is tightly closed when not in use.
• Store it out of reach of children.
• Use the gel before its expiry date.

• If you're managing conditions like superficial thrombophlebitis or venous congestion, try to maintain a balanced diet rich in fibre. This can help improve blood circulation and prevent blood clot formation.
• Regular exercise such as walking or swimming will boost your overall circulation, reducing the risk of blood clot formation in your veins. Please consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
