Application areas

Mode of action

How does the ingredient of the medicine work?

The active ingredient is a related fabric to cortisone. Cortisone is a hormone that is also produced by the body.
In the event of injuries, the body's defense runs at full speed, a number of messenger substances and defense cells flock to the place of what is happening and destroyed the pathogens that have penetrated and caused by the violation of cell debris or blood clots. This work leads to inflammation in the affected area and associated with swelling, redness and ultimately pain. The active ingredient reduces these body's defense mechanisms, especially if - as with allergies - it is too exaggerated. It particularly has anti -inflammatory effect on the skin and eliminates itching, redness, swelling and pustules.
