The age from which the use of Menovazin in children is permissible is 3 years. But this must be done under the supervision of a doctor.
Hello dear blog readers. Recently in the social. networks, I saw information on how you can use menovazine. And although I worked in a 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 of using it. Most of us know that menovazin is an excellent remedy for relieving pain in osteochondrosis, radiculitis, various arthritis, 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. Yes, its ingredients help in pain relief. This drug works great 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 means "Menovazin"
Menovazine is sold in our pharmacies in two dosage forms: in solution or ointment. 70⁰ alcohol is used as an auxiliary agent 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, as a result of which pain and itching are reduced. It enhances the effect of anesthesin 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 interferes with the generation and conduction of pain impulses, but its effect is less pronounced than anesthesin.
Ethyl alcohol, which is part of the solution, has a disinfecting property.
In general, menovazine has excellent analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.
What is menovazine used for?
The instructions for use say that menovazine 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 with various itchy dermatoses.
In case of sprains, injuries, bruises, before applying a pressure bandage, smear, if nothing else, the skin with menovasin.
You can make a compress on a sore joint. But, so that there is no skin burn, it is necessary to dilute the alcohol solution of menovazine with water in a ratio of 1: 1 or dilute it with sunflower oil. Gauze or cotton cloth is moistened with this solution, applied to the sore joint, wrapped on top with food or plastic wrap, and then with a warm handkerchief. Leave it 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 disinfecting effects are still widely used.
The use of menovazine for hemorrhoids
In addition to other medications, menovazin can be used to treat hemorrhoids on the recommendation of a proctologist. To quickly relieve pain, discomfort and itching in the anus, it is recommended to apply a lotion with a cotton pad dipped in menovasin or apply a small amount of ointment with menovasin to a cotton pad.
During such a procedure, a burning sensation is possible, so you should not continue the procedure for a long time. The procedure should be carried out 2-3 times a day until the inflammation relieves and the pain disappears.
Such a procedure is contraindicated if there is hemorrhoidal bleeding, cracks in the anus, proctitis and paraproctitis, thrombosis of hemorrhoids. Do not insert tampons with menovasin inside the rectum - a burn of the delicate mucous membrane is possible.
For coughs and runny nose
Some pediatricians recommend rubbing with menovazin for colds and coughs. Rub your back and chest, then immediately wrap yourself in a warm scarf or put on a woolen sweater and go to 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 relieving inflammation.
If you have a sore throat, then in addition to the medications prescribed by your doctor, rub the throat area with menovasin, and wrap yourself up too. And there was a runny nose, then it is enough to sniff the menovasin, first closing one nostril, and then the other.
With herpes on the lips
Usually, a cold on the lips can be felt even when outwardly nothing is still visible. The first signs of herpes (burning, pain and swelling on the lips) should already alert you.
Hold a cotton pad moistened with menovasin solution in this place. You can smear the possible site of herpes with menovasin ointment.
For pain in the ear
If nothing is at hand, the pain in the ear will help relieve the menovasin. 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 it to your 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.
With varicose veins
The use of menovazin 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 soak a cotton swab in an alcohol solution of menovazine and rub it on the neck from the back of the head from ear to ear. You can quickly fall asleep without sleeping pills.
For injection
As a disinfectant, menovazine can be used for injections at home, when you urgently need to inject some kind of medicine, and there was no alcohol or 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 menovazin
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 pregnant and lactating mothers and children, but it is better, of course, after consulting a doctor. But it is better for pregnant women and young children to use folk remedies.
When using menovazine, you must be careful in the following cases:
- Possible individual intolerance to some components of the drug.
- Do not apply ointment or rub the skin with menovasin 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 may appear.
The drug does not have any negative effect on driving or engaging in activities requiring increased concentration.

Consider in what cases it is possible to talk about indications for the use of the drug Menovazin.
Composition and properties of Menovazin
Menovazine is a local anesthetic. The composition of Menovazin is very simple: 70% ethyl alcohol, anestezin, menthol, novocaine.
Menthol is a secondary plant metabolite. Provides a local cooling effect on the skin receptors, which ultimately reduces itching and irritation on the skin.
Anesthesin, which is part of the drug, is an agent 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 emergence of a nerve impulse and blocks its further development.
Novocaine 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 the conduction of these nerve impulses along the 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 the nerve endings are pinched. Menovazine is also used for some itching (dermatoses). Menovazine is produced in two dosage forms for ease of use - ointment and solution.
Indications for the use of Menovazin solution
Menovazine solution is a medicinal tincture of 70% alcohol. The method of using the Menovazin solution is quite simple: a small amount of the solution is poured into the hand, applied to the skin at the site of the pain syndrome and rubbed with rubbing movements. Such a simple method of treatment allows the use of Menovazin solution for osteochondrosis pain, bruises (if there is no damage to the skin), as well as radiculitis.
Menovazin's solution is used in some cases for headaches resulting from increased blood pressure. To relieve such a headache, the solution must be applied to the back of the head twice a day and rubbed in with light rubbing movements.
Also, Menovazin's solution is indicated for use for furunculosis and painful acne. A solution of Menovazin is applied to the site of the lesion pointwise. The antiseptic effect of menthol and novocaine relieves all unpleasant sensations.

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 more than a dozen years as a budget effective drug that helps to cope with a number of diseases. However, we must not forget that he has contraindications.
Menovazine - composition

What does Menovazine treat?
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 effects:
- 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 light coolness. In addition, menthol is an excellent conductor for the remaining 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 pain relieving effect.
Thanks to this combination of the main components, the excitability of neurons is inhibited and the conductivity of the axons fades. All of this provides a distracting effect. In other words, after applying the drug to the problem area, the intensity of the pain becomes less pronounced. This effect lasts for a certain time.
Menovazin - indications for use

Menovazine - contraindications
Although this drug is widely used, it is not indicated for everyone. In some cases, you will have to refuse it. For this reason, trying to figure out what Menovazin helps from, one should not forget about its contraindications. The use of the medication 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 Menovazine 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 blood composition, but only a local effect.
Since Menovazine is used 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 using the medication: by that time, the specific smell of the medication will disappear. It is not prohibited to use Menovazin for children over 7 years old. If the kids are younger, you need to be careful with the drug.
Menovazine - application
This medicine is used externally only.
Here's how to use Menovazine:
- 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 rub in the drug lightly.
- The duration of therapy depends on what Menovazine 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 medicines, the therapeutic effect of the latter is enhanced.
