Thrombophob Gel is a topical medicine applied to the skin to relieve localised swelling and inflammation of surface veins and minor soft tissue injuries such as bruises and swelling after blunt or sports injuries. It contains heparin as the active medicine and belongs to a class of medicines called topical heparinoids. Ethanol is a formulation solvent and should not be presented as an active therapeutic ingredient.
This medicine works by reducing local inflammation and swelling in the treated area, but it does not dissolve blood clots. Apply the gel to the affected area as advised and continue for the duration your doctor recommends. Do not apply it to broken skin, and keep it away from your eyes and mouth.
Resting and gently elevating the affected limb, and avoiding standing for long periods, can help ease swelling and tenderness alongside this treatment.
Before using this medicine, tell your doctor if you have a bleeding disorder or damaged skin, or if you take blood thinning medicines. Stop using it and seek medical advice if you develop a severe skin reaction.

How Thrombophob Gel 30Gm Works?
Thrombophob Gel 30gm contains the following components:
- Heparin (200 IU): Heparin is an anticoagulant that helps reduce clot formation in superficial blood vessels. When applied to the skin, it helps improve local circulation and reduce swelling and inflammation associated with superficial vein conditions and bruises.
- Ethanol (0.5 g): This acts primarily as a solvent and penetration enhancer in the formulation, helping improve the delivery of active ingredients through the skin and contributing to the cooling effect of the gel.
Safety Measures & Warnings
Pregnancy
Thrombophob Gel 30gm should be used during pregnancy only if prescribed by a doctor.
Breastfeeding
Consult your doctor before using Thrombophob Gel 30gm while breastfeeding. Avoid applying the medicine to areas that may come into contact with the infant.
Alcohol
No clinically significant interaction is expected with topical use.
Liver
Systemic absorption from topical use is minimal, so liver-related effects are unlikely.
Kidney
Kidney-related effects are unlikely because systemic absorption from topical application is minimal.
Use In Driving And Operating Machinery
Thrombophob Gel 30gm does not affect the ability to drive or operate machinery.
Allergy
Do not use Thrombophob Gel 30gm if you are allergic to heparin or any component of this medicine. Stop using the medicine and seek medical advice if severe skin reactions occur.
Children
Thrombophob Gel 30gm should not be used in children or adolescents unless advised by a doctor, as safety data in this age group are limited.

Interactions of Thrombophob Gel 30Gm
Drug-Drug Interactions
Thrombophob Gel 30gm may interact with the following medicines:
- Anticoagulant medicines (Warfarin, Heparin injections): Concurrent use may increase the tendency for bleeding if significant systemic absorption occurs.
- Antiplatelet medicines (Aspirin, Clopidogrel): These medicines may increase bleeding risk when used together with anticoagulant therapies.
- Other topical medicines applied to the same area (Diclofenac gel, Ibuprofen gel): Applying multiple topical products to the same skin area may increase irritation.
Drug-Disease Interactions
Use Thrombophob Gel 30gm with caution if you have:
- Bleeding disorders: Patients with increased bleeding tendency should use this medicine only under medical supervision.
- Damaged skin or open wounds: Applying the medicine to broken skin may increase irritation or absorption.
Dosage of Thrombophob Gel 30Gm
Daily Dose
Use Thrombophob Gel 30gm exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The amount applied and the duration of treatment depend on the severity of swelling or inflammation. Regular use as advised by your doctor, helps support recovery from superficial venous conditions and injuries.
Over Dose
Overdose is unlikely with topical use because the medicine acts locally on the skin. However, applying excessive amounts may increase the risk of skin irritation. Wash the area with clean water if excessive gel is applied, and consult your doctor if irritation persists.
Missed Dose
If you forget to apply Thrombophob Gel 30gm, apply it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next scheduled application, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular treatment schedule. Do not apply extra medicine to make up for the missed dose.
