Heparin ointment, 25 g

Heparin ointment is a direct acting anticoagulant. Gradually released from the ointment heparin reduces inflammation and has an antithrombotic effect.

It promotes the resorption of existing clots and prevents the formation of new ones. It blocks the synthesis of thrombin and reduces platelet aggregation. Inhibits the activity of hyaluronidase and activates the fibrinolytic properties of the blood.

Nicotinic acid benzyl ester dilates surface vessels, promoting absorption of heparin.

The local anesthetic benzocaine reduces the severity of pain. When applied to the skin it has a local analgesic effect.
