Effect
The gel formula of Lioton 1000 contains highly concentrated heparin, an anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory, and decongestant agent. The gel is the result of pharmaceutical expertise and extensive research. The light gel consistency ensures the effective absorption of the concentrated active ingredient – heparin – exactly where the pain occurs. Heparin is a highly effective anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory medication that improves microcirculation and can delay the development of venous insufficiency. The high heparin concentration in the gel formula allows the active ingredient to penetrate deep into the skin, which is necessary for the effect of heparin. Since Lioton 1000 Gel is applied directly to the painful area, it is characterized by very good tolerability and effectiveness. The cooling effect provides rapid relief and a feeling of lightness. Lioton 1000 Gel has a pleasant lavender scent and offers a quick cooling effect. It leaves no stains and is convenient for daily use at the office and at home.
