An auxiliary component is menthol. It has a cooling effect, is an antihistamine and a mild anesthetic. The solution is also supplemented with 70% ethyl alcohol.
What does the ointment (solution) help from: indications for use
Removing the pain syndrome is what Menovazin is used for in the first place. It is a universal local antiseptic. The origin of pain can be different, but the drug copes with many of them - it relieves pain in the joints, relieves muscle pain, and also affects the nerve endings of cells, blocking the sending of pain impulses. In addition, Menovazin ointment helps in eliminating itching. It is possible to identify the main causes of malaise, in which Menovazin demonstrates its effectiveness:
- osteochondrosis of the spine and pinched nerve;
- pain with bruises, sprains and dislocations;
- arthritis and arthrosis;
- dermatitis of various types and psoriasis;

Instructions for use ointment Menovazin
The drug is applied topically to the affected areas. It must be rubbed with massage movements until completely absorbed. The frequency of application of Menovazin ointment depends on the nature of the pain and can reach up to three times daily. The course is also determined by the degree of damage and is usually supervised by a physician. With moderate pain, the duration of treatment is 20 days. The ointment is used to eliminate the pain syndrome, as an independent remedy, and in deeper therapy, as an auxiliary in the composition with other drugs.
Contraindications and side effects
The drug can cause various kinds of allergic reactions in the presence of individual intolerance to its components. It is also not recommended to apply the ointment to damaged areas of the skin. Before taking this medicine, you need to read the instructions for use and consult a doctor. Otherwise, after the use of Menovazin, adverse reactions may occur: asthenic syndrome, hypotension, vertigo, skin rashes, redness and itching. If these signs are found, you should immediately stop using the ointment.
In the fight against osteochondrosis, Chondroxide ointment helps well. This is an effective remedy for joint problems.
Use during pregnancy and lactation
To exclude the negative impact of the main components on the child, it is better to refrain from using Menovazin ointment during pregnancy and during breastfeeding. If the need to use the drug is still present, then you should definitely consult with your doctor.
special instructions
Menovazin should be used without ingestion. If this happens, it is necessary to take measures that cause vomiting. In addition, the use of ointment in conjunction with other warming drugs is prohibited. It is necessary to strictly observe the dosage in order to avoid side effects. The age at which Menovazin is allowed to be used in children is 3 years. But you need to do this under the supervision of a doctor.
Hello dear blog readers. Recently on social networks, I saw information on how you can use menovazin. And although I worked in the hospital for quite a long time, I did not even suspect how widespread the use of menovazine at home was. If you read this article to the end, you will learn a few more non-standard ways to use it. Most of us know that menovazine is an excellent remedy for reducing pain in osteochondrosis, sciatica, various arthritis, and myalgia. But this is not a complete list of diseases where it helps.
I note right away that Menovazin is not a medicine that can solve some kind of health problem and cure it. Yes, the substances included in its composition help in reducing pain. This drug helps a lot if it is one of the components of complex therapy. But, without eliminating the main cause of the disease, this drug alone will not be able to help.
The composition of the "Menovazin"
Menovazin is sold in our pharmacies in two dosage forms: in solution or ointment. As an auxiliary agent, 70⁰ alcohol is used in the solution, and an ointment base is used in the ointment.
100 ml of alcohol solution contains:
- 2.5 g menthol (racementhol)
- 1.0 g benzocaine (anesthesin)
- 1 g procaine (novocaine)
- and up to 100 ml 70% ethyl alcohol
Menthol, when applied to the skin, causes a feeling of coolness, irritates the nerve endings and expands the lumen of the capillaries, resulting in reduced pain and itching. It enhances the action of anestezin and novocaine, and also helps to relieve inflammation at the site of application to the skin.
Anestezin prevents the conduction of pain impulses along the nerve fibers, thereby providing a pronounced analgesic effect.
Novocaine also prevents the generation and conduction of pain impulses, but its effect is less pronounced than anestezin.
The ethyl alcohol included in the solution has a disinfectant property.
In general, menovazine has excellent analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.
What is menovazine used for?
The instructions for use say that menovazin is a drug for external use only. The drug perfectly helps to relieve pain in diseases such as myalgia, neuralgia, sciatica, osteochondrosis, arthritis and arthrosis. Perfectly relieves itching in various itchy dermatoses.
For sprains, injuries, bruises, before applying a pressure bandage, spread, if nothing else, the skin with menovazine.
You can make a compress on a sore joint. But in order to avoid skin burns, it is necessary to dilute the alcohol solution of menovazine with water in a ratio of 1: 1 or dilute it with sunflower oil. Moistened with this solution, gauze or cotton cloth is applied to the diseased joint, wrapped on top with food or plastic wrap, and then with a warm scarf. Leave overnight. If you feel severe pain and burning, the compress should be removed immediately.
Folk ways of using menovazine
It turns out that our people are quite inventive in the case of the use of menovazine. Its analgesic, distracting, anti-inflammatory and disinfectant effect is still widely used.
The use of menovazine for hemorrhoids
In addition to other medicines, on the recommendation of a proctologist, menovazine can be used to treat hemorrhoids. To quickly relieve pain, discomfort and itching in the anus, it is recommended to make a lotion with a cotton pad dipped in menovazine or apply a small amount of ointment with menovazine on a cotton pad.
When carrying out such a procedure, a burning sensation is possible, so the procedure should not be continued for a long time. The procedure should be carried out 2-3 times a day until inflammation is relieved and pain disappears.
Such a procedure is contraindicated if there is hemorrhoidal bleeding, anal fissures, proctitis and paraproctitis, thrombosis of hemorrhoids. Do not insert tampons with menovazine inside the rectum - a burn of the delicate mucous membrane is possible.
For cough and runny nose
Some pediatricians recommend rubbing with menovazine for a cold accompanied by a cough. Rub your back and chest, then immediately wrap yourself in a warm scarf or put on a wool sweater and lie down in bed. 2-3 procedures are enough and you can get rid of the cough and you will not get sick.
In this case, menthol, which is part of the drug, has a warming and distracting effect, reduces the sensitivity of cough receptors, and improves blood flow, thereby reducing inflammation.
If you have a sore throat, then in addition to the medicines prescribed by the doctor, rub the throat area with menovazine, and also wrap yourself up. And there was a runny nose, it is enough to sniff menovazin, first closing one nostril, and then the other.
With herpes on the lips
Usually, a cold on the lips can be felt already when nothing is outwardly visible. The first signs of herpes (burning, pain and swelling on the lips) should already alert.
Hold a cotton pad moistened with a solution of menovazine in this place. You can smear a possible place of herpes with menovazin ointment.
For ear pain
If nothing is at hand, earache will help relieve menovazine. I found a lot of reviews where menovazin helped in this situation.
It is enough to moisten a cotton swab with an alcohol solution and apply to the ear 2 times a day for 15-20 minutes.
For headaches
If you have headaches caused by high blood pressure, then you can rub the head with an alcohol solution from the back of the head to the ears.
For varicose veins
The use of menovazine for varicose veins relieves the feeling of pain and heaviness in the legs, reduces swelling. It is necessary to apply the solution with light movements from the feet up, stroking in a circular motion.
For insomnia
If you suffer from insomnia, it is enough to moisten a cotton swab in an alcohol solution of menovazine and wipe it from the back of the head from ear to ear. You can fall asleep quickly without any sleeping pills.
For injections
As a disinfectant, menovazin can be used for injections at home, when some medicine is urgently needed, and there was neither alcohol nor alcohol wipes in the house. As you remember, it contains up to 95 g of 70⁰ ethyl alcohol.
This drug is very fond of older and elderly people. And not only for the fact that it has a good effect when used, but also for its low price. In different regions, its price is different, but everywhere menovazine costs no more than 15 rubles per bottle. If you use, for example, fastum-gel, you will have to spend more than 400 rubles.
You can buy this drug at any pharmacy without a doctor's prescription. But still, before use, you should consult with your doctor about the appropriateness of its use.
Contraindications and side effects of menovazine
When applied to the skin, regardless of whether it is a solution or an ointment, the drug does not penetrate into the blood. Therefore, menovazine can be used by both pregnant and nursing mothers, and children, but it is better, of course, after consulting a doctor. But it is still better for pregnant women and young children to use folk remedies.
When using menovazine, you need to be careful in the following cases:
- Individual intolerance to some components of the drug is possible.
- Do not apply ointment or rub the skin with menovazine if there is any damage to the skin (wounds, burns, dermatitis, eczema).
- With prolonged use of menovazine, a decrease in blood pressure is possible, and as a result, dizziness appears.
The drug does not have any negative effect on driving or engaging in activities that require increased concentration.
Dear readers, you have learned how menovazine can be used. And I think that such a drug should be in your home first aid kit.

The drug "Menovazin" (the instruction describes in detail its composition) is a combined agent that has an effective local anesthetic effect. Produced in the form of a solution. 100 ml of this transparent liquid contains 2.5 g of menthol, 1 g of procaine and the same amount of benzocaine (anesthesin). The auxiliary substance in the solution is 70%
Procaine (novocaine), which is part of the drug, is the most famous and commonly used local anesthetic used by physicians for many decades. The range of its application is quite wide: it is used for anesthesia in dentistry and otorhinolaryngology, for epidural and spinal, retrobulbar anesthesia and in some other cases. The substance benzocaine (anesthesin) has been known for more than a hundred years: it was synthesized as early as 1890, but is still actively used both independently and in complex medicines. This effective surface anesthetic begins to work within a minute after application to the skin or mucous membranes. Its hit on the tongue causes an unpleasant feeling of slight numbness, which, however, quickly passes. Benzocaine is taken orally for pain in the stomach, peptic ulcer, esophagitis. It is applied topically in the form of a powder for allergies and skin diseases accompanied by severe itching.
Menthol, which is part of Menovazin (solution), acts on skin receptors. It has a cooling effect on them, due to which the itching sensation that occurs with many skin diseases is noticeably reduced. Menthol has traditionally been used in topical preparations to relieve rheumatism, muscle pain of various kinds, and colds. As part of the Menovazin (solution), it enhances the effect of its other two components, procaine and benzocaine.
The instruction recommends using the Menovazin solution for various diseases of the musculoskeletal system: rheumatoid arthritis, radiculitis and osteochondrosis, arthrosis and arthritis. Its use can significantly reduce pain in neuralgia, myalgia, joint pain. The Menovazin solution (the instruction focuses on this) is effective for injuries - bruises, and ligaments. Finally, it brings significant relief in skin diseases - dermatosis, accompanied by severe itching. Cosmetologists advise using Menovazin (the instruction emphasizes its effective anesthetic effect) before epilation in order to smooth out the pain as much as possible.
When using the Menovazin solution as an anesthetic, it is applied to the palm of the hand and then the sore spot is rubbed with quick, light movements. The area on which the drug was applied is covered or wrapped with a woolen cloth - a feeling of warmth appears on the skin. The procedure is repeated two or three times a day. Applying the remedy for dermatitis, it should be carefully applied to the skin with a cotton swab.
The total duration of the use of the Menovazin solution, reviews of which confirm its effectiveness, should not exceed three weeks. After this period, it is necessary to take a break, otherwise side effects may occur: weakness, dizziness. Your blood pressure may also drop slightly.
Menovazin should not be used during pregnancy and lactation. Before using it, in any case, a skin test should be carried out in order to make sure that there is no individual intolerance. To do this, a small amount of it is applied to the inner bend of the elbow. The absence of itching, redness and swelling after an hour indicates that the Menovazin solution can be used for treatment.
Recently, the processes of searching for new substances for medical use have undergone significant changes. The use of computer technology, the latest methods of analysis make it possible to create preparations with predetermined properties. Against this truly fantastic background of the development of modern pharmacology, the success and stable popularity of the simple drug Menovazin looks incomprehensible.
The drug, released in the last century, has not become obsolete over its long history and continues to be in steady demand among the population. The selected combination of active ingredients proved to be in demand for the treatment and prevention of many diseases. The population uses this drug incomparably more widely than its instructions for use recommend. Thanks to this, a simple and affordable drug, tested over a long period, remains used by the population of the country.
The composition of the solution "Menovazin".
This tool is included in the group of combined drugs, the therapeutic effect of which is the sum of the characteristics of the effects of the ingredients that are part of the drug. The drug can be called a solution of menthol, novocaine, anesthesin in 70% ethyl alcohol. The impact on the body of the constituent parts of "Menovazin" can be characterized as follows:
- Menthol - a substance with a strong mint odor, when it comes into contact with the skin, acts on the receptors of the peripheral nervous system, manifested by the perception of cold, a burning sensation and numbness. Detects a slight analgesic effect, inhibits the development of microorganisms.
- Novocaine is presented as a drug that causes local anesthesia. Significantly reduces the sensitivity of the receptors of nerve ramifications, for a short time.
- Anestezin is a substance used to suppress sensitivity in the upper layers of the skin and mucous membranes of the human body.

Folk ways of using "Menovazin".
The Russian population shows remarkable intelligence and ingenuity in many situations. This also affected the use of Menovazin. I would like to strongly note that Menovazin is not a medicine with which you can solve all health troubles. This composition works very well when it is involved in complex treatment. Without successful therapy of the main factor of the disease, the stabilization of the state of health, when using the solution, will be short-lived.
- The alcohol composition "Menovazin" began to be used in folk medicine to reduce high blood pressure. To do this, the Menovazin solution must be rubbed into the skin of the back of the head in the morning and evening.
- The solution is used in applying compresses to sore joints. It is usually done in the evening. In this case, it is necessary to add the same amount of cold boiled water to a portion of Menovazin in order not to get skin damage from the long-term effect of 70% ethyl alcohol. In the prepared solution, a gauze napkin is wetted, slightly wrung out and placed on the painful area of the joint. Compress paper or plastic wrap is applied over the napkin. All this is carefully wrapped in a woolen cloth and left overnight. If during the procedure severe pain or other unpleasant symptoms appear, you should stop the treatment session.
- Many advise during colds, when coughing is often annoying, gently apply the Menovazin solution to the back and upper chest. After that, put on a sweater or other woolen thing and, in this form, climb under a warm blanket. It is necessary to perform 2-3 such events and forget about the manifestations of coughing.

- With prolonged use of the drug, the body's reaction may occur, expressed in the occurrence of muscle weakness, manifestations of hypotension: tinnitus, sudden dizziness.
This is a drug that has long been known on the pharmaceutical market and is effectively used by patients in various fields of medical practice. According to the instructions, this drug is used for neuralgia, myalgia, arthralgia and itchy dermatitis. However, in fact, Menovazin is much more widely used. Consider - in what cases can we talk about indications for the use of the drug Menovazin.
Composition and properties of Menovazin
Menovazin is a local anesthetic. The composition of Menovazin is very simple: 70% ethyl alcohol, anesthesin, menthol, novocaine.
Menthol is a secondary plant metabolite. It has a local cooling effect on skin receptors, which ultimately reduces itching and irritation on the skin.
Anestezin, which is part of the preparation, is a drug belonging to the group of local anesthetics. Anestezin reduces the permeability of sodium membrane cells, while displacing calcium from membrane receptors located on their inner surface. Anestezin also prevents the occurrence of a nerve impulse and blocks its further development.
Novocain has a moderate analgesic effect. In addition, novocaine blocks sodium channels, which prevents the formation of new ones in sensitive nerve endings, and also prevents these nerve impulses from being carried along nerve fibers. Thus, novocaine suppresses the conduction of nerve impulses, including pain.
Due to the capabilities of the above components of Menovazin, Menovazin's solution is used much more widely than recommended by the instructions for use. This drug is used exclusively externally. The main indications for use are pain in the muscles (myalgia), joints (arthralgia), neuralgic pain when nerve endings are pinched. Menovazin is also used for some that are itchy (dermatoses). Menovazin is produced in two dosage forms for ease of use - ointment and solution.
Indications for the use of Menovazin solution
Menovazin solution is a medicinal tincture with 70% alcohol. A fairly simple way to use the Menovazin solution: pour a small amount of the solution into the hand, apply it to the skin at the site of the pain syndrome and rub it with rubbing movements. Such a simple method of treatment allows the use of Menovazin solution for osteochondrosis pains, bruises (if there is no damage to the skin), as well as for sciatica.
Menovazin's solution is used in some cases for headache, which is a consequence of an increase in blood pressure. To relieve such a headache, the solution should be applied to the back of the head twice a day and rubbed with light rubbing movements.
Also, Menovazin's solution is indicated for use in furunculosis and painful acne. Menovazin's solution is applied pointwise to the site of the lesion. The antiseptic effect of menthol and novocaine removes all discomfort.
Indications for the use of Menovazin ointment
Menovazin ointment is indicated for use in the treatment of joint pain. Menovazin can help athletes - Menovazin ointment helps with sprains and muscle. The ointment is also used for hemorrhoidal pains, for external and internal hemorrhoids. And also Menovazin ointment is indicated for varicose veins - Menovazin relieves the feeling of fatigue and fatigue in the legs, reduces swelling, constricts blood vessels.
It is very important to thoroughly understand what Menovazin helps from. The increased interest in this drug is justified. This medication has been used for decades as a budget effective drug that helps to cope with a number of diseases. However, we must not forget that he has contraindications.
Menovazin - composition
This drug is intended for external use. This point is important to consider when understanding what Menovazin helps from. The drug is available in two variations:
- solution;
- ointment.
The colorless solution with a menthol smell is packaged in glass bottles. The volume of therapeutic fluid can vary from 25 to 40 ml. White ointment with a menthol flavor is available in aluminum tubes of 40 g. The concentration of the main substances in both forms of the drug is the same. Menovazin solution and ointment contain the following active ingredients:
- menthol;
- procaine;
- benzocaine.
In solution, the auxiliary component is 70% ethyl alcohol. It is he who provides the drug with a drying effect. The composition of the ointment contains the following auxiliary substances:

- water.
What treats Menovazin?
This drug has an analgesic effect on the area of application. In addition, it has a calming and antipruritic effect, so it can be applied to irritated areas. Due to the alcohol content, the solution is used as an antiseptic. To understand in more detail what Menovazin is used for, a detailed study of the pharmacological action of each of its components will help. The main substances of the drug have the following effect:
- mento l - has a mild anesthetic effect. This effect occurs due to the expansion of blood vessels close to the skin, and irritation of the nerve endings. After contact with the cover, it envelops it with a slight coolness. In addition, menthol is an excellent conductor for the other components of the drug: it enhances their effect.
- Procaine is an anesthetic. It blocks sodium channels. As a result, the occurrence of pain impulses is prevented.
- Benzocaine- is also an anesthetic. It provides a long lasting analgesic effect.
Due to this combination of the main components, the excitability of neurons is inhibited and the conduction of axons fades. All this provides a distracting effect. In other words, after applying the drug to the problem area, the intensity of pain becomes less pronounced. This effect persists for a certain time.
Menovazin - indications for use
This medicine has a wide range of applications. There is even an opinion that Menovazin treats 13 diseases. Given the pharmacological action of this drug, it is possible that the number of diseases that such a drug can cope with is much greater. According to the instructions, Menovazin has the following indications:
- neuralgia;
- sciatica;
- radiculitis;
- hemorrhoids;
- dermatoses;
- dislocations and other mechanical damage;
- scratches and abrasions;
- colds, accompanied by a runny nose and cough;
Menovazin - contraindications
Although this drug is widely used, not everyone is shown to use it. In some cases, it will have to be abandoned. For this reason, trying to figure out what Menovazin helps from, one should not forget about its contraindications. The use of the drug is prohibited when:
- individual intolerance;
- tendency to manifestation of angiospasms;
- the presence of burns and open wounds on the skin;
- acute pulmonary tuberculosis.
Some are wondering if Menovazin can be used during pregnancy. There is no single point of view among doctors about the use of this medication during the period of bearing a baby. Some experts believe that it is unsafe to use it, so Paracetamol is prescribed instead. Others recommend the drug for use by pregnant women. They base their judgments on the fact that the drug does not affect the composition of the blood, but only a local effect is carried out.
Since Menovazin is applied externally, it does not pass into breast milk (does not affect its taste and aroma). In view of this, this medication is used during lactation. However, it is recommended to apply the baby to the breast only half an hour after the use of the medication: by that time, the specific smell of the medication will disappear. Use Menovazin for children over 7 years of age is not prohibited. If the kids are younger, you need to be careful with the drug.
Menovazin - application
This medicine is used only externally.
Here is how to apply Menovazin:
- The area of the body where the drug will be applied is thoroughly washed and wiped dry.
- The skin in the area of localization of the problem is rubbed well (this will enhance the penetration of the active substances of the drug).
- Apply the solution and lightly rub the drug.
- The duration of therapy depends on what Menovazin solution is used for in this particular case. Treatment is recommended to continue until remission occurs. However, the therapeutic course should not exceed 4 weeks. If necessary, take a 2-week break and continue manipulations.
However, it is important to know not only what Menovazin helps from, but also how this medication interacts with other drugs. Otherwise, there will be no positive dynamics, and the general condition of the patient will worsen. For example, when Menovazin interacts with topical drugs, the therapeutic effect of the latter is enhanced.
