Hepgel 250IU Ointment

Hepgel 250IU Ointment is used to prevent the formation of blood clots near the surface of the skin, dissolve existing clots, and relieve pain and inflammation by increasing blood flow, thereby accelerating the overall healing process. Blood clots are solid masses of blood that form when the body's clotting mechanism is activated. They can occur in veins or arteries and can be caused by injury, immobility, cancer, genetics, smoking, or obesity.

Hepgel 250IU Ointment contains heparin, which works by binding to antithrombin, an enzyme in the clotting system. This binding inhibits key clotting factors, including factor Xa and factor IIa, thereby preventing thrombin formation and prolonging blood clotting time, effectively managing clot formation.
