pharmachologic effect
Local anesthetic.
Pharmacodynamics
Combined preparation for external use. Has a local anesthetic effect.
Levomenthol, when applied to the skin and mucous membranes, causes irritation of nerve endings, dilates the superficial vessels of the skin, causing a sensation of coolness, accompanied by an analgesic effect and relief of itching. Strengthens the anesthetic effect of procaine and benzocaine.
Procaine is a local anesthetic with moderate anesthetic activity. Being a weak base, it blocks Na + channels, preventing the generation of impulses in the endings of sensory nerves and the conduction of impulses along nerve fibers. Changes the action potential in the membranes of nerve cells without a pronounced effect on the resting potential. Suppresses the conduction of not only pain, but also impulses of other modalities.
Benzocaine is a local anesthetic for superficial anesthesia. Reduces the permeability of the cell membrane to Na +, displaces Ca2+ from receptors located on the inner surface of the membrane, and blocks the conduction of nerve impulses. Prevents the occurrence of pain impulses at the endings of sensory nerves and their conduction along nerve fibers.

Treatment with Menovazine: instructions and dosage
Treatment with Menovazin is carried out every day; the pathological focus must be treated 2-3 times a day. The duration of use depends on the severity of pain and itching. Doctors warn that therapy can last until complete restoration of health, but this period should not exceed 4 weeks.
Menovazin for colds
Menovazin for colds is used as a rubbing, which is used to treat the areas of the back, located between the shoulder blades and the chest. It is important not to rub the drug on the part of the chest corresponding to the anatomical location of the heart. After applying the solution, it is necessary to cover the patient, wrap him up and not go outside for at least 1.5 hours.
It is advisable to do the procedure 2 times a day (morning and evening), but before starting, be sure to check your body temperature - if it is elevated, then manipulation is prohibited. This rule applies even to low-grade symptoms (37.2-37.7 C).
For headaches
In case of severe headache, you need to moisten a cotton swab in Menovazin and wipe the temples, back of the head and forehead with the drug. The procedure is carried out 2 times a day, but it will have a positive effect only if the pain syndrome is associated with excessive stress, after a hard day of work (if the person is engaged in mental work), or a sleepless night.
If the headache is a consequence of the development of pathology (hypertension, migraine, head injury, etc.), then the use of Menovazin is not advisable.
For acne
If every day you treat the spots where acne appears on the face with the drug in question, then by the 3rd day the rashes will become less pronounced, the inflammatory process will stop, and by the 5th day the skin can become completely clean.
For proper use, you should follow the following recommendations:
- if the rashes are extensive, then the entire surface of the face can be treated with Menovazin;
- in the case of isolated inflamed pimples, it is better to carry out the procedure pointwise, locally ("cauterize" with a cotton swab);
- the solution dries the skin, so on the days of its use you need to thoroughly moisturize the dermis - with creams, cosmetic oil, if there are no contraindications.
When coughing
For cough, only 4-6 procedures are carried out using the drug in question - 2 times a day, one of which must be performed in the evening before bedtime in order to alleviate the patient’s condition and provide him with a restful, restful sleep.
Menovazin is diluted with clean water in a 1:1 ratio, applied to the chest (bypassing the area of the anatomical location of the heart) and the back in the area between the shoulder blades, lightly rubbed into the skin. On top you need to put on cotton clothes and cover yourself with a blanket.
Menovazin dilates blood vessels, accelerates blood flow and reduces the activity of cough receptors. Therapy lasts 3 days, after which the patient’s cough becomes productive - sputum is formed and efficiently cleared.
For back pain
For back pain, apply a gauze/fabric napkin soaked in a Menovazin solution diluted with clean water in equal proportions to the problem area. You need to lay polyethylene or parchment paper on top and insulate the entire “structure”.
The compress is kept for 1 hour and then removed. You need to perform 2 procedures per day, after which, most often, significant relief occurs - the pain goes away, the mobility of the spinal column returns. You cannot use a compress with Menovazin if you have a history of kidney disease and there is a high likelihood of exacerbations (one of the symptoms is girdling pain in the lower back).
Localization of back pain
How to use for a runny nose
For a runny nose, Menovazin is used as a snuff - alternately inhale the aroma of the drug through each nostril. Menthol acts as a vasoconstrictor, and the person begins to breathe freely, the swelling of the mucous membrane becomes much less.
The disadvantage of this remedy in the treatment of a runny nose is that it has a short-term effect that needs to be constantly reinforced. But doctors do not give any restrictions on the number of inhalations per day and duration.
For sore throat (sore throat)
As soon as the first signs of a developing sore throat appear (pain in the throat when swallowing, which is not yet pronounced), you need to take a little Menovazin in the palm of your hand and rub it on your neck, especially carefully treating the area where the head and neck connect. Relief will come almost immediately, and the entire process of development of sore throat will be stopped.
Menovazine rubbing: when needed, how to prepare a compress
Menovazine rubbing is a combination of the drug in question with clean water at room temperature in a 1:1 ratio. It is used in the treatment of colds and coughs. Rubbing involves creating “greenhouse” conditions - the treated area is covered with a sheet, then a blanket.
The compress is prepared from 1 part Menovazin and 2 parts clean water. Then a gauze napkin (can be replaced with a fabric one) is moistened in the prepared solution and slightly wrung out, applied to the problem area and covered with cellophane (parchment paper), wrapped in a scarf, blanket, or terry towel.
After rubbing and applying a compress, you first feel coolness on the skin, and after a few minutes the effect changes dramatically - you can clearly feel the warmth.
