Pharmacological properties

"Indovazin" is a complex two-component drug. Has the following therapeutic effects:

Reduces vascular inflammatory processes
Relieves swelling in perivenous tissues
Acts as an analgesic pain reliever
Reduces the time for regeneration of affected joints, blood vessels and tissues
Inhibits the biosynthesis of prostaglandins, which activate the development of inflammation, pain and fever
Reduces permeability and fragility of blood vessels
Blocks the functions of substances that cause spasm and narrowing of the lumen of veins
Prevents platelets from sticking together into clots
Activates microcirculation, supplying damaged cells
Reduces temperature at the site of inflammation
Tones and strengthens vein walls
Relieves the inflammatory process of hemorrhoids.

The medicinal properties of the drug combine the healing qualities of the main active ingredients.

Indomethacin, a non-steroidal drug, actively relieves swelling, pain, and fever. Blocks the formation of prostaglandins, which provoke an increase in capillary permeability and the development of pain. Inhibits the process of combining platelets into blood clots.
Troxerutin is a bioflavonoid and one of the first phleboprotectors used for venous insufficiency. Its functions:

Normalize microcirculation in capillaries
Increase the tone of the venous wall
Relieve swelling of blood vessels and nearby tissues
Improve lymphatic drainage
Increase the elasticity of the capillary wall
Suppress the functions of acetylcholine, histamine and bradykinin, which contribute to a decrease in venous tone.

After use, the ointment is actively absorbed, reduces redness, inflammation, swelling, and reduces the temperature in the area of the pathological process. Penetrates deep into tissues, reaching maximum concentration in the affected areas.

Excreted by the kidneys (about 60%), with feces and bile (about 30%) in 24 hours.

Main settings

The key directions of action of the active components of the drug are the elimination of edema, relief of pain symptoms and the fight against inflammatory processes, and therefore damaged tissues are restored much faster.

The mechanism of action is based on blocking the production of prostaglandins due to the reversible blockade of COX-2 and COX-1. The effectiveness of Indovazin is due to the activity of the main components.

Troxerutin is presented in the form of a bioflavonoid, which belongs to the category of angioprotectors. The component produces a venotonic effect and helps reduce capillary permeability, and also blocks the spread of the inflammatory process to perivenous tissue.

There is an improvement in trophism in venous insufficiency, relief of edema, an antiplatelet effect, and a decrease in capillary fragility. The component is also characterized by blocking the vasodilating effect of acetylcholine, bradykinin and histamine.

Applying the gel to the skin helps penetrate the affected blood vessels and block the edematous reaction, reduce the temperature and relieve pain symptoms in the area of inflammation, which can be localized both deep in the tissue and on the surface.

The effect of the drug is capillary protective and venotonic.

Reviews

Valery, 32 years old
I bought indovazine ointment for bruises to relieve pain from a bruise. That's what the pharmacy advised. I was injured at work and severely crushed my leg. There was a big bruise and swelling. I applied it twice in the morning and in the evening after work. The tube lasted for five days. During this time, the acute pain disappeared and leg movement was fully restored. I'm happy with the drug. Effective, not expensive.

Larisa Mikhailovna, 56 years old I have been suffering from varicose veins for a long time. I used troxevasin. Indovazin gel was recommended by my daughter-in-law, she says the reviews are good... It helps well, its color and effect are similar to Troxevasin, only it seems thicker. The only inconvenience is that it sticks to clothes and bed. I have to wear knee socks at night. Troxevasin gel dries faster. I didn’t notice any significant difference in the products.

Elena, 38 years old, I use Indovazin gel periodically when I’m especially tired and my legs are swollen. I smear my legs up to the shins at night. I really like that leg pain and cravings go away quickly. By morning there is no trace of swelling. Only you have to wash your feet in the morning, otherwise your skin is yellow. Overall I'm happy with the product.

Indovazin is recommended for use only on the outer surface of the skin.
