Medicine Description thrombophob-60-000 60000i
Thrombophob 60000i Gel is a medication that contains heparin, a glycosaminoglycan that acts as an anticoagulant by inhibiting thrombin and factor Xa in the coagulation cascade. This action prevents the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, thereby decreasing blood clot formation. Additionally, heparin promotes the breakdown of existing fibrin clots and enhances local blood circulation through its effects on blood vessels, contributing to reduced inflammation and improved tissue oxygenation. The topical application of heparin allows for localized therapeutic effects, particularly beneficial in the treatment of superficial conditions.
