For supportive treatment of accident and sports injuries

Children or older people are more likely to suffer blunt injuries from a shock or fall.Athletes also have an increased risk of injury and are often affected by sprains, bruises, strains or bruises, which can cause swelling and bruising.Blood clots and metabolic products that accumulate in the tissue are responsible for acute swelling.

HEPARIN AL Ointment 50,000 promotes the breakdown of metabolic products and blood clots and can thus help to reduce painful swelling and bruising.In general, blunt injuries are usually a thing of the past after two to three weeks, even without further measures; minor injuries are often healed after just a few days.

Decongestant and promotes blood circulation

Heparin sodium, the active ingredient in HEPARIN AL Ointment 50,000, is used as a supportive treatment for blunt injuries due to its blood-thinning and anticoagulant properties.The ingredient inhibits blood clotting in the body and thus supports the breakdown of blood clots.The decongestant effect on acute swelling and bruising is reduced.

Sports injuries

Athletes are more frequently affected by injuries.When running or hiking, you can quickly lose your stride and get a strain.Collisions in disciplines with direct contact with opponents such as football, basketball or handball regularly lead to bruises and bruises.Sports like tennis or squash that involve rapid changes of direction, braking and acceleration put a strain on muscles, ligaments and tendons.

Accidents in the household & Everyday life

Painful swelling or bruising can easily be caused by small accidents at home or on the playground. Blunt injuries are commonplace, especially among children.If a superficial blood vessel tears when falling from a bike or in a violent collision with playmates, a bruise develops.

TIP: First aid for injuries

Depending on the sport, there is an increased risk of injury.When it comes to sports injuries, it is important to react immediately.The PECH-rule applies as an effective first aid measure: rest, ice, compression and elevation.The decongestant HEPARIN AL ointment 50,000 can also be used to support the healing process.
