Menovazan ointment tube 40 g

Active ingredients in 1 g of ointment: menthol 25 mg, procaine hydrochloride 10 mg, benzocaine 10 mg.

Auxiliary components: mineral oil, soft white paraffin, emulsifier T-2, purified water.

White ointment with a characteristic menthol odor.

A combined drug with local anesthetic and distracting effects.

Menthol affects cold receptors, creating a feeling of coolness, and reflexively regulates the tone of superficial and deep vessels.

Procaine exhibits a pronounced analgesic effect and does not affect vascular tone.

Benzocaine provides superficial anesthesia upon contact with the skin.

The combination of components reversibly reduces the excitability of nerve receptors and the conductivity of nerve fibers upon direct contact, which helps reduce the intensity of the pain signal.

When you want to quickly understand whether an ointment is suitable, focus on the indications:

• neuralgia;
• myalgia (muscle pain);
• arthralgia (joint pain);
• dermatoses with itching;
• conditions requiring local anesthesia.

How to use Menovazan in everyday pain therapy:

• apply externally to painful or damaged areas of the skin 2–3 times a day;
• rub gently until absorbed;
• course: from 5 days to 1 month (depends on symptoms and treatment regimen);
• The maximum daily dose is 9 g of ointment.

Main restrictions on use:

• hypersensitivity or allergy to components;
• facial skin and the area around the eyes;
• damaged skin, open wounds;
• signs of an active allergic reaction;
• irritated skin, cracked skin;
• children’s age up to 12 years.

Possible adverse reactions upon skin contact:

• redness, irritation;
• itching, rash;
• swelling, hives;
• contact dermatitis;
• allergic skin manifestations.

If you combine with other means, consider interactions:

• It is not recommended to combine with other local anesthetics without consulting a doctor (possible enhancement of the effect);
• Procaine and benzocaine may reduce the antibacterial activity of sulfonamides.

With prolonged use, systemic effects sometimes occur:

• dizziness, weakness;
• lowering blood pressure;
• allergic skin reactions.

If this happens: wash off the remaining ointment with water and consult a doctor. Treatment is symptomatic.
