A vasodilator that widens blood vessels, improving blood flow.
An anticoagulant (blood thinner) that prevents blood clots.
Prevention of thromboembolic events in high-risk patients (Note: This combination is NOT typically used for this indication alone. Heparin is used alone or with other medications for this purpose.)
Treatment of peripheral vascular diseases characterized by impaired blood flow.
Benzyl nicotinate causes vasodilation, increasing blood flow to the extremities. Heparin inhibits the formation of blood clots, reducing the risk of thrombosis in the context of already compromised blood flow. The combination aims to improve circulation and reduce clot formation in specific vascular conditions.
Store at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Discard any unused medication after the expiration date.
Dosage is determined by a physician based on the individual's condition and response to treatment.
Always follow your doctor's instructions carefully. Do not adjust the dose without consulting your physician.
Common administration routes may include topical application or injection (depending on specific formulation).
Itching or rash
Headache
Nausea
Hypotension (low blood pressure)
Bleeding (due to heparin's anticoagulant effect)
Allergic reactions (rare but serious)
Avoid excessive alcohol consumption as it may increase the risk of bleeding and interact with the medication.
Caution is advised as side effects such as dizziness or hypotension can impair cognitive function and reaction time.
Consult a doctor before using this medication during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The safety of this combination in pregnancy and lactation hasn't been fully established.
Not generally recommended for children, unless under strict medical supervision.
Caution is required in patients with kidney disease due to the potential for increased bleeding risk.
Consult a doctor before use if you have liver disease. Heparin metabolism may be affected.
List reputable medical journals and databases where information about benzyl nicotinate and heparin can be found (This section needs to be populated with actual references based on available medical literature). Examples: PubMed, relevant pharmaceutical databases.
