"Viprosal B": what kind of medicine is it and how does it work
"Viprosal B" is a medicine produced by Belmedpreparaty companies from Belarus and Tallinn Pharmaceutical Plant from Estonia. It belongs to the pharmaceutical group “Products containing poisons of bees and snakes”.
The international name "Viprosala B" consists of the following components: viper venom, camphor, salicylic acid and turpentine. The medicine is available in the form of an ointment.
Each of the components of "Viprosal B" has its own medicinal properties. Viper venom contains proteins that can have an anticoagulant effect, that is, slow down blood clotting. This may be useful in treating blood clots and other conditions related to circulatory problems. In addition, viper venom may have an anti-inflammatory effect and help reduce pain.
Camphor, in turn, can have a local irritant effect, improve blood circulation and help relieve pain. Salicylic acid may also have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Turpentine contains essential oils that can improve blood circulation and relieve pain.
According to the drug description in the 2004 Encyclopedia of Medicines, Viprosal B is used to treat joint pain, muscle pain, sprains and other injuries accompanied by inflammation.
Despite the fact that Viprosal B contains bee and snake venoms, it is safe for use if the recommended dosages and instructions for use are followed. However, before starting to use the medicine, you must consult your doctor and make sure there are no contraindications.
