pharmachologic effect
IndovazinЃ gel is a combined drug that contains indomethacin and troxerutin.
Indomethacin has a pronounced anti-inflammatory, analgesic and decongestant effect. This leads to pain relief, less swelling and a shorter recovery time for damaged tissues. The main mechanism of action is associated with the suppression of prostaglandin synthesis through reversible blockade of COX-1 and COX-2.
Troxerutin (trihydroxyethylrutinoside) is a bioflavonoid. It belongs to angioprotective agents. Reduces capillary permeability and exhibits venotonic effect. Blocks the venodilating effect of histamine, bradykinin and acetylcholine. It has an anti-inflammatory effect on the peri-venous tissue, reduces capillary fragility and has some antiplatelet effect. Reduces swelling, improves trophism in pathological changes associated with venous insufficiency.
When applied to the skin, IndovazinЃ gel suppresses the inflammatory edematous reaction, relieves pain and temperature in the foci of inflammation located on the surface and in depth, reaching the blood vessels located there. Shows venotonic and capillary-protective effect.
