Dolobene gel is a powerful combinationdrug for external use only. Its effect is due to the combined effect of the components in the tool. Dimethyl sulfoxide has an excellent anti-inflammatory, anti-exudative and analgesic effect. This is possible due to the inactivation of hydroxyl radical complexes (otherwise, their activity is suppressed). Also improves metabolic processes at the site of inflammation, decreases the speed of the nerve impulses. This component causes hygroscopic properties, facilitates the absorption of other components of the drug.
Another component of the gel, heparin, inhibitsblood coagulation (anticoagulant). Thanks to him, connective tissue is restored faster, because the enzyme hyaluronidase is inhibited. The formation of blood clots is prevented, their dissolution is activated, the local blood flow improves.
Dexpanthenol will help regenerate damaged tissues (this component speeds up metabolism in cells by participating in oxidation processes).

Dolobene gel is also applied using iontophoresis. The gel must be placed under the cathode (this is a positive pole). Heparin has anionic properties (this is a negative charge).
In case of phonophoresis (with this method, the medicinal substance is injected through the skin by means of an ultrasonic wave), the application is even more effective, since the ultrasound itself is already a therapeutic agent.
Before using the drug in each case the skinneed to free from contamination, wash off other medications. Dolobene gel can not be applied to open wounds, badly damaged skin, with dermatosis, eczema, psoriasis, postoperative scars.
