This ointment is used to support the treatment of acute swelling following blunt injuries such as bruises and bruises.It is available without a prescription.

Supports the treatment of sports and accident injuries

The ointment helps treat sports and accidental injuries, especially bruises caused by bruises, sprains or strains.It has a decongestant effect and promotes blood circulation.

Decongestant and promotes blood circulation

The active ingredient heparin sodium has blood-thinning and anticoagulant properties.It helps break down blood clots, reducing bruising more quickly.This has a decongestant effect on swelling and bruising and helps to alleviate them.

Supports the treatment of acute swelling following typical blunt sports and accident injuries

Events such as a fall or impact injury are commonplace for households with children or the elderly.Swelling and bruising such as sprains and strains often occur as a result of sports injuries.Blood clots and metabolic products that accumulate in the tissue are responsible for acute swelling. HEPARIN AL supports the breakdown of these metabolic products and blood clots and thus helps reduce painful swelling and bruising.The injuries listed are usually a thing of the past after two to three weeks at the latest.

Sports injuries

Athletes risk injury, especially if they skip warming up and stretching.In sports with direct contact with opponents, such as football, collisions regularly result in bruises or bruising.Sports that involve rapid changes in direction, braking and accelerating, such as tennis, put strain on muscles, ligaments and tendons, which increases the risk of injury.In such cases, HEPARIN AL Ointment 30,000 can support healing.

Most accidents occur in the home

Everyday accidents at home or on the playground also quickly lead to a bruise or painful swelling.If, for example, a superficial blood vessel tears during a fall from a bicycle or a collision while playing, the typical bruise develops.

Always pause immediately

The risk of injuring yourself while playing sports increases depending on the sport.Swelling and bruising, such as sprains and strains, are not uncommon.As an immediate measure, it is strongly recommended to take a break, cool the swelling with ice and, if necessary, apply a compression bandage.If there is severe swelling, elevating the affected part of the body also reduces the swelling (PECH-rule).In addition, HEPARIN AL can support the treatment of acute swelling.

How can I treat sports injuries?

First aid measures for sports injuries are based on the PECH-rule: break (interrupt sports training), ice (put ice cubes wrapped in a cloth or a cold washcloth to cool it), compression (apply an elastic pressure bandage if the extremities are bruised), and elevate the injured extremity.If acute swelling and bruising occur after following the PECH-rule, a heparin gel or ointment, such as HEPARIN AL Ointment 30,000, can support the healing process.
