The action of the drug is due to its active ingredients: dimethylsulfoxide, sodium heparin and dexpanthenol.
Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)
DMSO has anti-inflammatory, anti-edematous and local analgesic effect.
Anti-inflammatory activity is associated with some pharmacological effects, the most significant of which is the inactivation of hydroxyl radicals, which are produced in large quantities during the inflammation process and have a destructive effect on the tissue.
DMSO has a local analgesic effect due to a decrease in the rate of nociceptive (pain) impulses in peripheral neurons.
Anti-void action is provided by inactivation of hydroxyl radicals and improvement of subcutaneous metabolic reaction at the place of application of the drug. To a certain extent, the hygroscopic properties of DMSO are also responsible for its anti-edema effects.
DMSO (from 50% and more) penetrates through biological membranes, including through the skin, promoting better and deeper penetration into the tissues of other medicines used simultaneously.
Sodium Heparin
Heparin sodium, which is part of the drug, is an anticoagulant of direct action; thanks to the inactivation of biogenic amines in the tissue, shows a clear anti-inflammatory effect, improves local blood circulation. Sodium Heparin inhibits the action of hyaluronidase and, thereby, effectively promotes the regeneration of connective tissue.
Heparin sodium exhibits a dose-dependent antithrombotic effect, enhancing the inhibitory activity of antithrombin III on the activation of prothrombin and thrombin. Penetration of sodium heparin through healthy skin is dose-dependent and is confirmed for dosage starting at 300 IU / g.
Dexpanthenol
Dexpanthenol shows anti-inflammatory and dermatoprotective action, stimulates regeneration processes. After absorption, it turns into pantothenic acid, which participates in numerous metabolic processes, being an integral part of coenzyme A; by improving the processes of granulation and epithelization promotes the regeneration of damaged skin areas.
