Injuries from events such as falls or collisions are common in households with children. Even those who exercise regularly risk sprains, strains, bruises, contusions, and hematomas. These are often accompanied by painful swelling, redness, and warmth – signs of a local inflammatory reaction. In these cases, cold is often perceived as very pleasant. HEPARIN AL is used for hematomas and can break down clotted blood. HEPARIN AL is applied to the affected area of skin, and the evaporation of the water content in the gel provides an additional cooling effect. In most cases, the injury heals within two to three weeks, and in mild cases, even within just a few days.
Promoting circulation and cooling:
The active ingredient, heparin sodium, has blood-thinning and anticoagulant properties and supports the breakdown of blood clots. This helps reduce bruising more quickly. The heparin in gel form offers a further advantage: Gels also have a pleasantly cooling effect, which results from the evaporation of the water content on the skin. RECOMMENDED USE: Unless otherwise prescribed by a doctor, HEPARIN AL Gel 30,000 should be applied thinly and evenly to the affected area 2 to 3 times daily. (Do not use if there is an open wound on the skin.) Wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. HEPARIN AL Gel 30,000 should not be used for longer than 10 days. The total dose should not be exceeded without consulting a doctor or pharmacist. In general, careful dosing should be observed, especially in infants, young children, and the elderly. Once opened, HEPARIN AL Gel 30,000 has a shelf life of 6 months.
Sports injuries
Athletes risk injuries – especially if they skip warm-up and stretching. Sports with direct contact with opponents (like soccer) regularly result in bruises or contusions due to collisions. Sports with rapid changes of direction, braking, and acceleration (like squash) strain muscles, ligaments, and tendons – and the risk of injury increases.
Everyday Accidents: Bruises and painful swelling can easily occur in everyday life. For example, if a superficial blood vessel tears during a fall from a bicycle or a collision while playing, the typical "bruise" develops.
Immediate Action:
RICE ( Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) The risk of injury during sports is increased depending on the sport. Swelling with bruising, such as in sprains and strains, is not uncommon. As an immediate measure, it is strongly recommended to rest, cool the swelling with ice, and, if necessary, apply a compression bandage. Elevating the affected body part also reduces swelling in cases of severe swelling (RICE principle). Heparin AL can also be used to support the treatment of acute swelling, for example.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How long can I use HEPARIN AL Gel 30,000?
The duration of treatment with HEPARIN AL Gel 30,000 should generally be limited to 10 days. If symptoms persist or worsen after 10 days of treatment, a doctor should be consulted. Once opened, HEPARIN AL Gel 30,000 has a shelf life of 6 months.
How can I prevent sports injuries?
The risk of injury in sports can often be significantly reduced through general warm-up exercises and sport-specific muscle training (such as coordination and balance exercises). Many injuries also result from exhaustion. Therefore, accurately assessing one's own performance level is so important. Furthermore, attention should be paid to wearing sport-specific clothing (for example, knee pads for volleyball).
How can I treat sports injuries?
First aid measures for sports injuries are based on the RICE principle: Rest (stop sports training) , Ice (apply ice cubes wrapped in a cloth or a cold washcloth) , Compression (apply an elastic compression bandage to bruised extremities), and Elevation. If acute swelling with bruising occurs after following the RICE principle, a heparin gel, such as HEPARIN AL Gel 30,000, can support the healing process.
When should I see a doctor?
In the case of injuries such as fractures or joint injuries, large bruises that spread rapidly, severe head injuries, or genital contusions, a doctor should definitely be consulted. If the pain or swelling is very pronounced, or if bodily functions such as joint mobility are restricted, an examination by a specialist is also recommended. This also applies to swelling that does not subside after a few days despite treatment with, for example, HEPARIN AL Gel 30,000 and adherence to a rest period.
When is HEPARIN AL Gel 30,000 suitable?
Heparin AL is available as an ointment and as a gel. The gel has the advantage that, due to its high water content and thus high evaporation rate, it provides a pleasant cooling effect on swelling.
