Heparin ointment. Instructions for use, composition, indications and contraindications for use, analogues

Heparin ointment is intended for external treatment of diseases of the system of subcutaneous blood vessels, capillaries and skin tissues. The instructions for use indicate the medical uses of the drug to eliminate tissue inflammation, resorption of blood clots, and restore and stimulate blood circulation.

The same properties of the ointment are effectively used in cosmetology to relieve swelling on the face, eliminate darkening under the lower eyelids, small folds and wrinkles.

Structure

Heparin ointment (instructions for use later in the article) includes a complex of components of anticoagulant, absorbable and analgesic effects. It consists of the main and auxiliary ingredients.

The main ones:

• heparin sodium;
• benzocaine (anesthetic);
• benzyl nicotinate;

Auxiliary:

• glycerol;
• stearic acid;
• soft paraffin;
• vegetable oil (peach);
• distilled water.

1.	Heparin sodium	inhibits the functioning of the blood coagulation system and the production of thrombin, blocks the formation and attachment of blood clots to the walls of blood vessels, has a resolving effect on already formed blood clots.
2.	Benzyl nicotinate	dilates the blood vessels of the subcutaneous tissue, which facilitates the penetration of heparin through the walls of veins and capillaries.
3.	Benzocaine	It has an anesthetic effect on the treated area.

Auxiliary ingredients are formulated to effectively absorb the ointment into the subcutaneous layers of the epidermis.

Means of soft consistency, white with a yellow tint and no pungent odor. The complex of the main components of the drug prevents the accumulation of platelets in clots, improves blood circulation and anesthetizes problem areas of the skin.

Efficiency

Heparin ointment acts due to the presence of a high molecular weight component – heparin, indicated in the annotation to the drug.

The use of the drug is effective in the treatment of not deep, subcutaneous mesh of blood vessels, for:

• removal of inflammation of the skin tissue in the area of thrombosed vessels, postpartum mastitis and external hemorrhoids;

The use of heparin ointment for phlebitis and thrombophlebitis

Heparin ointment, the instructions for use of which is attached to the drug, is effective in the treatment of thrombophlebitis and phlebitis. The drug anesthetizes the affected area, eliminates inflammation of the walls of the subcutaneous vessels and adjacent tissues.

Heparin destroys the fibers of the fibrin that forms the blood clots, prevents the connection of thrombin cells into clots and the attachment of blood clots to the walls of blood vessels. The drug softens the structure of the thrombus, promotes its resorption and prevents the growth of blockages in the veins.

The ointment is applied with gentle, gentle movements, a thin layer on the diseased vessel and the adjacent area of the skin, in an amount of 1 g per 4-5 square foot. inch 3 – 4 time. per day 5-7 days.

From cones after injections

Heparin ointment contributes to the rapid absorption of hypodermic tissue seals resulting from a long course of intramuscular injection, or improper execution. The ointment anesthetizes compacted areas of the epidermis, eliminates vascular inflammation and restores blood circulation in damaged tissues.

The drug is smeared with massage movements on the cone area up to $ 0,04. per day 4-8 days.

With bruises

After bruises, the resulting bruising and tumors are smeared with the product after 10-12 hours , provided that there is no damage to the upper layer of the skin. Smearing the drug on the area of the bruise, it is necessary to exclude the ingress of the composition into the wound. Ointment is applied $ 0,03 – $ 0,04. per day for 3-10 days.

The use of heparin ointment in cosmetology

The ability of heparin ointment to restore blood circulation and metabolism of the structural tissues of the epidermis, to eliminate inflammation and swelling of the skin is used during cosmetic procedures.

The tool is used for:

• smoothing small wrinkles;
• elimination of edema and dark spots around the eyes;
• treatment of acne, acne and rosacea.

The components of the drug are quickly absorbed into the skin, normalize the water and vitamin balance of tissues, soften the walls of blood vessels and restore blood microcirculation.

Wrinkle

Acceleration of the blood supply to the epidermis activates the regeneration and cell division of elastin and collagen fibers. Niacin promotes rapid absorption through the walls of blood vessels of heparin and additional ingredients of the ointment, tissue cells receive an increased volume of oxygen, nutrients and oils, which ensure the regeneration of the epidermal layer.

Due to the high molecular structure, the ointment forms a film on the skin of the face, which must be washed off before applying a new portion of the product to avoid clogging of the pores.

The drug is smeared on the area of wrinkles of $ 0,03. on the day of 1-2 weeks, excluding the product on open wounds and mucous membranes.

Heparin ointment can be used to treat acne and inflamed acne. The drug eliminates inflamed foci and prevents new rashes, accelerates the resorption of skin seals and restores the structure of tissues.

The drug is applied to inflamed areas up to $ 0,04. per day for washed and disinfected skin from 7 to 10 days.

From bags under the eyes

The ability of heparin to thin the blood and slow down the action of hyaluronidase (an element of the lymphatic system that binds and retains fluid in the tissues) is used to remove edema of the lower eyelids. Improving blood circulation and metabolism contributes to the resorption of excess interstitial fluid.

Ointment is smeared on the area of edema $ 0,01. a day in a thin layer for 1-2 weeks. For quick elimination of bags, it is allowed to apply a cotton pad soaked with the product to the problem area for 1 hour.

From rosacea

Cuperosis, resulting from a violation of blood circulation in the capillary network of blood vessels, can be eliminated with heparin ointment in a short time. To do this, the ointment is applied to the localization sites of noticeable spots of rosacea vessels without rubbing it into the skin for independent, gradual absorption into the epidermis tissue.

The effect of restoring blood circulation to the network of vessels and capillaries is noticeable after 5 days.

Apply ointment 3 time. per day, 1.5-2 weeks, or until the spots disappear.

During pregnancy and lactation

Heparin ointment, the instructions for use of which does not provide for its use by pregnant women and breast-feeding mothers, is sometimes prescribed by specialists for the treatment of thrombophlebitis, hemorrhoids and phlebitis after injections for a short time.

The medication is used exclusively externally, provided there is no damage to the surface of the skin.

The large molecular weight of heparin prevents the molecules of the component from penetrating through the dense walls of the placenta and mammary glands in order to harm the fetus. In the period of 2/3 of the gestational age, external lubrication of the sites of formation of stretch marks of the skin of the abdomen is allowed to prevent the buildup of additional epidermal tissue.

With prolonged use in the last weeks of pregnancy, the drug can provoke heavy bleeding during childbirth, so you should reduce the period of its use to 3-5 days, or exclude the use of the medication at this time.

With an exacerbation of these diseases, the ointment is smeared on the inflamed area up to $ 0,04. per day, the treatment period is 10-15 days.
