Few people know that a miracle cure is being produced in Vietnam that can effectively cope with back pain. This amazing ointment, made on the basis of snake venom, can be found in our pharmacies. Since 2012, it has been sold under the commercial name Cobratoxan. We will consider the use of this drug in today's article.
Structure
According to the information stated by the manufacturer, this unique product is made on the basis of several components. Their combination is selected so that they complement and enhance the effectiveness of each other. Cobratoxan ointment, the use of which effectively eliminates pain, contains 0.0005 grams of cobra venom, which is considered the main and most valuable component of the drug. This substance is one of the most expensive of all used in the pharmaceutical industry. Even at microscopic doses, it perfectly removes inflammation, improves blood circulation and eliminates pain.
In addition, Cobratoxan, the use of which has already proven its effectiveness, contains 2.8 grams of salicylic acid methyl ester. It has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. This substance is extracted artificially, isolating it from the willow bark. In its pure form, it is considered highly toxic.
Another component of Cobratoxane is menthol. It is known for its analgesic, antiseptic and distracting properties. It is this substance that contributes to the narrowing of peripheral blood vessels, due to which a slight feeling of coolness arises at the site of application.
Release form and pharmacological properties
Cobratoxan, the use of which is indicated for many diseases, is available in the form of a clear white ointment. This drug has a characteristic smell of essential oils. It is sold in tubes in which twenty grams of the medicine are packaged.
Vietnamese ointment has a number of healing properties. It reflexively affects the surface receptors of the skin, dulling the pain syndrome. The active substances of the drug penetrate deep into the tissue, helping to eliminate inflammatory processes. Cobra venom expands the capillaries, normalizing metabolism and improving the flow of oxygen and nutrients.
The therapeutic effect is based solely on the local effect of Cobratoxan, the use of which is recommended for back problems. Studies have shown that no more than 10% ointment is absorbed into the blood. All absorbed substances are excreted through the intestines.
