The combined preparation for topical administration, which consists of indomethacin and troxerutin.
Indomethacin has a pronounced anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-edema effect, leading to pain relief, reduction of edema and shortening the recovery time of affected tissues. The main mechanism of action is associated with the suppression of the synthesis of prostaglandins by reversible blockade of cyclooxygenase 1 and 2.
Troxerutin (trihydroxyethyl rutinoside) is a bioflavonoid. It has an angioprotective effect. Reduces capillary permeability and shows venotonic action. Blocks the venodilating action of histamine, bradykinin and acetylcholine. It acts anti-inflammatory on the near-venous tissue, reduces capillary fragility and has some antiplatelet effect. Reduces swelling, improves trophism in various pathological changes associated with venous insufficiency.
Troximethacin gel, when applied to the skin, suppresses the inflammatory edematous reaction, reduces pain and temperature in the foci of inflammation on the surface and in depth, reaching the blood vessels located there. It has a pronounced venotonic, capillary-protective effect.
