Gel Lyoton 1000 is designed to treat bruises, bruises and strains of tendons and ligaments. The drug is based on the sodium salt of heparin 1000 ME. This explains the numbers that are in the name of the medicine. They also indicate the amount of substance in one gram of the drug.

Application of Lyoton gel
Gel Lyoton 1000 is used in the treatment of:
- bruises;
- hematoma;
- other soft tissue injuries;
- stretching of ligaments and tendons;
- phlebothrombosis;
- thrombophlebitis of superficial veins;
- when eliminating complications after these diseases.
Also, the remedy is used for swelling of soft tissues and localization of infiltrates.
Including gel Lyoton has indications for use with hemorrhoids . During the illness and during the postoperative period, ointments that contain heparin are used. In this case, Lyoton perfectly copes with its task - it stimulates regeneration processes. This drug is most effective, since the heparin content is sufficient for quality treatment - 1000 units per gram. This is several times more than similar medical devices that are less effective.
To treat bruises, the gel is applied to the skin by a strip from three to ten centimeters and is rubbed into it. You need to do the procedure three times a day.
Lyoton gel is often used for the face, but it must be done gently, so that it does not get into the eyes and lips, and later on and digestion. It is also worthwhile to bypass the eye area, as this can cause a thinning of the mucous membrane and skin in these areas.
When rectal ointment (treatment of thrombosis of hemorrhoidal veins) is used a cotton swab impregnated with ointment. It must be inserted into the anus or placed on the injured nodes. Treatment takes place within a short period - three to four days. In this case, many are afraid of an overdose of the medicine, since the gel has contact with damaged tissues. But Lyoton is absorbed into the blood slightly, so an overdose of medicament is almost impossible.
