Swithromb Ointment

Swithromb Ointment is used in the treatment of superficial thrombophlebitis. Superficial thrombophlebitis is a condition in which there is inflammation and swelling just below the surface of the skin due to the presence of a blood clot.

Swithromb Ointment contains Heparin and Benzyl nicotinate. Heparin dissolves blood clots and prevents the formation of new blood clots. Benzyl nicotinate acts by widening the blood vessels and also improves skin oxygenation. Swithromb Ointment increases the blood flow to the affected area, thereby reducing the pain and inflammation.

The common side effects of Swithromb Ointment are skin irritation, redness, burning sensation, and itching. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if any of these side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor immediately.

Do not use Swithromb Ointment if you are allergic to Heparin, Benzyl nicotinate, or any other ingredients present in it. Avoid using it on open wounds, infected wounds, and skin ulcers. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Swithromb Ointment is used in the treatment of Superficial Thrombophlebitis. The detailed uses of Swithromb Ointment are as follows:

• Relief for Varicose Veins: Swithromb Ointment is frequently used to alleviate the discomfort caused by varicose veins. It effectively reduces swelling, pain, and irritation associated with enlarged veins.
• Post-Surgical Recovery: After vein-related surgical procedures, Swithromb Ointment aids in the healing process. It can be applied to the affected areas to minimise swelling and accelerate recovery.
• Sprains and Strains Management: Swithromb Ointment is beneficial for addressing minor injuries, such as sprains and strains. It helps relieve pain and inflammation, ensuring faster relief.
• Bruise Treatment: Swithromb Ointment promotes better circulation and speeds up the healing of bruises. It also helps diminish discolouration for a quicker recovery.

• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safety.
• Gently rinse the affected area with saline or water before applying Swithromb Ointment. Pat the skin and dry it with a clean cotton towel.
• Apply a thin layer of Swithromb Ointment using your fingers or with a piece of clean cotton wool or gauze swab on the affected areas of the skin.
• Wash your hands before and after applying Swithromb Ointment on the affected areas unless the treatment is for hands.

• Swithromb Ointment is a topical medication that contains Heparin and Benzyl Nicotinate, used to treat superficial thrombophlebitis (inflammation of a vein near the surface of the skin).
• Benzyl Nicotinate acts as a vasodilator, helping widen the blood vessels. This enhances local blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the affected area for faster healing.
• Heparin is an anticoagulant that helps break down existing clots and prevents the formation of new ones.
• It also has anti-inflammatory effects, helping reduce local swelling, redness, and pain at the site of inflammation or thrombosis.
• The improved blood flow and anti-inflammatory properties of both components contribute to quicker tissue repair and relief from symptoms.
• By reducing clotting and inflammation, Swithromb Ointment provides symptomatic relief from pain, tenderness, and discomfort associated with venous disorders.

• Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in Swithromb Ointment.
• Swithromb Ointment is for external use (skin) only. Do not apply it to the eyes, mouth, nose, genital area, or any broken skin. If the medicine accidentally comes in contact with the eyes, nose, or mouth, wash with water thoroughly and consult a doctor immediately.
• Do not apply any other medicine to the treated area, unless prescribed by your doctor.
• Do not use for prolonged periods or more than the duration recommended by your doctor.
• Swithromb Ointment may cause photosensitivity (sensitivity to ultraviolet rays from the sun), so avoid sun lamps, tanning beds, and prolonged exposure to sunlight.
• Wear protective clothing such as a long-sleeved dress, sunglasses, and a hat, and use sunscreen lotion with a high SPF when outdoors during the day.
