What is justified use of drugs from hemorrhoids as ointments from the eye swelling? The answer is simple: similar composition. History is silent, who first noticed this similarity. But everyone knows that pharmacy and cosmetology are very close, and in the recipes of their products they often use the same ingredients. For example, formulas of therapeutic creams, ointments, suppositories include components used to create anti-aging cosmetics. These creams have a quick effect, so they come in handy in emergency cases, when it is necessary to remove the swelling on the face very urgently.
Heparin ointment
A popular heparin ointment is exactly one hundred years. It was then that her ability to influence the condition of the blood was discovered. Nowadays, ointment is also used in medicine - with the therapy of phlebitis, trophic ulcers, hemorrhoids, and in cosmetology - from eye swelling, bruises and bruises.
Components of the ointment are heparin, anesthesin, benzyl nicotinate.
- Heparin reduces blood clotting, dissolves blood clots.
- Anestezin has a local anesthetic effect.
- Benzyl nicotinate dilutes blood, reduces thrombus formation, promotes the absorption of heparin.
In the complex, the active components of the ointment from the eye swelling provide anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, anesthetic, vasodilating action.
The drug is used for the purpose of a specialist who must take into account contraindications:
- blood diseases (hemophilia),
- reduced number of platelets (thrombocytopenia),
- pregnancy and the period of feeding the child,
- the presence of purulent wounds,
- hypersensitivity to ingredients.
Treatment of edema, depending on their severity, should last from 10 to 20 days. Overdose with prolonged use is fraught with serious complications: increased fragility of bones, fractures, osteoporosis. Redness in the application area is not a threat: it is usually a reaction to the effects of nicotinic acid.
Ointment should be applied a thin layer, two or three times a day. Analog preparations: aurobin, troxevasin, proctosan, vobenzym.
Ointment of Relief

However, in the process of application, its cosmetic properties were found: it is useful in the elimination of swelling under the eyes, and in emergency cases. And although officially no one conducted tests in this direction, however, many women use the ointment for cosmetic purposes, after testing for allergy.
The effective component of the preparation is oil extracted from the liver of sharks. It is a complete set of vitamins and microelements necessary for tissue renewal, protection from inflammation, stimulation of immunity.
Additional ingredients are phenylephrine, glycerol, vitamin E, corn oil, thyme. They soften the skin, enrich with moisture, heal the damage. Due to the narrowing of the blood vessels, the swelling disappears. As a result, the skin becomes saturated with moisture, the face becomes smooth, without swelling and dark circles around the eyes.
It is important to remember that this ointment is still a pharmaceutical, not a cosmetic product, so it can not be used uncontrolled. For example, the period of application should not exceed three months. If this rule is violated, the skin will become dry, pale and dull, and it will have to be treated for a long time.
Sometimes the drug causes burning or flushing, which quickly pass. But if the negative reaction does not disappear, it must be abandoned. Contraindications to the use of drugs also include:
- diabetes,
- pregnancy and breastfeeding,
- blood diseases,
- thromboembolism.
Apply the drug to problem areas should not be longer than two weeks in a row, with a long break. A quick effect is provided by the technique of applying ointment from the eye swelling in a thick layer, using a fixing patch (for deep penetration under the skin).

The active ingredient is the substance troxerutin, belonging to the vitamins of group P; it has a beneficial effect on capillaries, reduces inflammation, swelling, bruises. Troxevasin affects the walls and muscles of small vessels, as a result of which the swelling around the eyes decreases or disappears completely.
