What does Menovazin help with, and how to use it correctly?

Menovazin is a complex drug with a wide spectrum of therapeutic activity. It has antiseptic, antipruritic, distracting, local irritant and analgesic effects. Used to relieve pain associated with various diseases of muscles, joints and nerves. Prescribed for adults and children.

Composition and release form

The drug is available in several dosage forms:

1. ​The solution is colorless, transparent with a pleasant menthol odor. Used for topical use. Packaged in dark glass bottles with different volumes.
2. ​Ointment - intended for external use. Externally white, homogeneous structure with menthol aroma. Sold in aluminum tubes of 40 g and secondary cardboard packaging with attached instructions for use.

The main components of the drug are: menthol, procaine and benzocaine. Excipients: ethyl alcohol in solution and pure water, paraffin, mineral oil, emulsifier in the ointment.

What is it prescribed for: indications for use

The drug is sold in the form of an alcohol solution for rubbing and Menovazan ointment. The indications for use and mechanism of operation are similar for both forms of release. In modern therapy, rubbing from a solution is used less frequently than ointment, which is more convenient to use and long lasting.

Despite the fact that Menovazin is a medicinal drug that can be purchased at a pharmacy, it has long been a tool of traditional medicine. This statement is based on the fact that this drug is used not only according to the instructions in the instructions.

For this reason, below we will consider ways to use this drug in non-standard situations.

Menovazine in liquid form can be used as a trituration solution to treat selected symptoms during a cold. This remedy can be used both as a method of treating the disease in the early stages of its development, and as a tool to suppress viral activity.

It is applied to the chest and back, quickly rubbing the skin with your palms, as if rubbing the composition into the integument. Also, an alcohol-containing product is applied to gauze folded several times and applied to the neck area in the form of a compress.

It should be noted right away that Menovazin is not a method of treating hemorrhoids at all, but a tool that allows you to temporarily minimize painful and uncomfortable sensations. The solution is also used as a means to prevent the development of uncomplicated external inflammation, but in this case the patient may feel a burning sensation and pain due to alcohol contact with the mucous membrane.

As for the method of applying the composition, this must be done using a cotton swab on which a small amount of medicine is applied. You should prevent the medication from getting inside the anus, as well as on those hemorrhoids that are damaged.

This drug is popular as a remedy against herpes. It should be noted that the medication shows quite good results, defeating the disease almost immediately.

The product is especially effective if herpes has just begun to appear. But if the manifestation of the disease has been present on the mucous membrane for quite a long time, then the treatment will need to be repeated again.

To carry out the procedure, you need to wrap a piece of cotton wool around a match or use an ordinary cotton swab, dipping it in Menovazin solution. Next, the affected area is spot-treated with the composition several times during one day.

Thus, in order to carry out the treatment, it is necessary to build a structure that allows you to fix the cotton wool soaked in the solution on the nose overnight. The compress should be adjacent to the nostril in the area of ​​the maxillary sinus.

It should be noted that the duration of treatment should not exceed two weeks.

pharmachologic effect

Menovazine is a combination drug with broad therapeutic activity. It has a clear antipruritic, analgesic, distracting, antiseptic and sedative effect.

The healing properties are due to the quality composition of the product. For example, menthol affects certain receptors that are sensitive to low temperatures. As a result, it causes a feeling of pleasant cold and relieves pain. It also affects the tone of any blood vessels, arteries and veins.

Procaine has an exclusively analgesic effect. Benzocaine causes local anesthesia without provoking vascular tone.
