How does the ingredient of the medicine work?

The active ingredient has blood-thinning, anticoagulant properties and supports the breakdown of blood clots. Other metabolic products that have leaked into the muscle tissue in the event of blunt injuries, for example, are also removed more quickly. This reduces swelling, eliminates bruising more quickly and alleviates inflammation.

Application
