pharmachologic effect

The effect of the drug is due to its main components:

1. Heparin has a blood thinning effect. It reduces the concentration of fibrin, a component of the blood that serves as the basis for blood clots. With a decrease in its level, the ability of platelets to “connect” with each other and clog vessels decreases. In addition to the antithrombotic effect, heparin suppresses inflammation, reduces swelling.
2. Benzyl nicotinate increases vascular patency, contributing to the rapid penetration of heparin into the blood.
