Pharmacological properties

A combined preparation for external use, the pharmacological properties of which are due to the mutual potentiation of the therapeutic effect of each of the components. An important component is bee venom, obtained from live bees and isolated in its pure form by lyophilization. To ensure the continued effectiveness of this biological substance, bee venom is standardized and investigated during biochemical and pharmacological tests. standardized bee venom contains active ingredients that have a versatile therapeutic effect. the most important of them are mellitin, histamine, peptide MSD, hyaluronidase, phospholipase. the second component of the ointment - methyl salicylate - belongs to the group of NSAIDs. penetrates well through the skin, has an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, intensified due to the synergistic effect of the components of bee venom - peptide MSD and apamine. the third component, allylisothiocyanate, has a local irritant effect, causing local hyperthermia and hyperemia, which are amplified by the effects of bee venom ingredients - histamine and mellitin. Mellitin also promotes the release of the endothelial relaxing factor (edrf). Improving local blood circulation leads to improved oxygen supply to the tissues and accelerates the elimination of toxic metabolic products from the focus of inflammation, causing a sensation of pain.
