Suprathrob Cream


Product introduction

Suprathrob Cream is a combination of two medicines used to treat superficial thrombophlebitis (inflammation or swelling of a vein due to a blood clot). It helps to relieve pain and inflammation by speeding up the healing process.

Suprathrob Cream is also used to treat bruises and hematoma (collection of blood under the skin). It speeds up the dissolution of the blood clot, decreasing the pain and swelling. It should be used in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. This medicine is for external use only. The affected area must be clean and dry before applying this medicine. Make sure to wash your hands before and after applying this medicine.

Suprathrob Cream is generally safe to use with minimal or no side effects. However, slight irritation, burning sensation or redness may be experienced after applying this medicine over the affected area. This is usually temporary and resolves on its own. Please consult your doctor if it does not subside or persists for a longer duration. Avoid contact of this medicine with broken skin. If you get it in your eyes, mouth or broken skin, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water.

Suprathrob Cream is a combination of medicines that is used to treat thrombophlebitis near the surface of your skin. It dissolves the clots and also relieves pain and inflammation by increasing the blood flow. This improves the overall healing process.
