Geparoid Zentiva

Heparoid zentiva contains in its composition a high-molecular combination of heparinoid with antithrombotic activity, as well as moderate anti-exudative and anti-inflammatory effects.

Heparinoid has a lipolytic and anticoagulant effect that develops when lipoprotein lipase activates the action of decomposing lipoprotein fatty acids. In the zone of injury or inflammation, the drug reduces the formation of blood clots, increases the rate of resorption of hematomas and weakens the tumor (reduces the feeling of tension, and also reduces pain).

• in inflammations affecting the tendons (for example, in tendovaginitis);
