Astin joint cream is used for dysfunction of the musculoskeletal system, injuries, muscle and tendon sprains. Among the main diseases, doctors identify:

• uric acid deposits (gout);
• arthrosis and arthritis;
• osteochondrosis and osteoporosis;
• mineral deposits in joints;
• swelling due to injuries or minor injuries;
• bursitis or other inflammatory processes in the joints.

Regular use of the drug allows you to achieve the following reactions:

• dulling the source of inflammation and preventing the progression of the disease;
• neutralization of the effect of negative radicals on tissues and muscles;
• suppressing the process of fluid accumulation in tissues, thereby relieving edema;
• restoration of normal blood circulation and the ability to optimally function damaged joints;
• elimination of acute symptoms, mild anesthetic and warming effect.

Thanks to its unique natural composition, Astin cream has virtually no contraindications. It is very important to choose the right dosage and duration of treatment. Among the main contraindications are individual sensitivity to one of the components of the drug.

Among the side effects, manifestations of allergic reactions were recorded (itching, redness of the skin at the application sites, severe burning, dry skin, etc.).

It is not recommended to apply the medicine to open wounds or burns. When the first unpleasant signs appear, you should stop using Astin, take antihistamines (Loratidine, Suprastin, etc.) and consult a doctor.

To reduce the risk of side effects, apply a small amount of cream or ointment at the first dose and monitor the reaction. If there is no allergy, then the use of Astin is permitted.

Cream Astin

The natural components of the cream are natural anti-inflammatory substances, which together potentiate and enhance each other’s effect. This allows you to effectively control the pathological process in the affected joint.

Astin is recommended by traumatologists and rheumatologists for the treatment of various conditions. It is necessary to understand the mechanism of action of the drug to determine the effectiveness of the drug.

Components

The therapeutic effect of the cream is ensured by the correct selection of Astin components, which together have a pronounced therapeutic effect.

Ingredients include:

1. Martinia fragrant extract is a plant component that provides an anti-inflammatory effect, stops the rheumatic process of interaction of antigen with antibody, and has analgesic properties.
2. Juniper berries and oregano are medicinal plants that have an antioxidant effect that prevents damage to healthy tissues by reactive oxygen species released during inflammation.
3. Hematococcus microalgae are a source of astaxanthin, the strongest natural antioxidant. It can be called one of the main active ingredients of the cream, as it allows you to combat inflammation as effectively as possible.
4. Valerian tincture is a famous drug that has a calming effect. Helps reduce the intensity of symptoms, affects nerve receptors, preventing pathological impulses that cause pain.
5. Components that impart viscosity to the ointment. Thanks to their chemical structure, a uniform distribution of the drug in the area of ​​application is achieved, penetration of the product through soft tissue to the site of inflammation.
6. Highly purified distilled water. Necessary for combining molecules and giving the desired concentration of substances. The absence of impurities ensures the correct effect with minimal side effects.

This set of components achieves a therapeutic effect while minimizing side effects and preserves the natural properties of medicinal raw materials.

Effect

Having become acquainted with the composition of Astin cream, you can understand the therapeutic effects of the drug. These include:

• Anti-inflammatory.
• Antioxidant.
• Antirheumatic.
• Decongestant.
• Microcirculatory – improves blood circulation.
• Anesthetic.

Penetrating into the area of ​​action through soft tissue, the ointment acts on the joint capsule, cartilage and bone formations, nerve receptors, and the vascular wall.

The warming effect allows you to expand the capillary wall, providing additional blood flow to the site of inflammation. This leads to an increase in oxygen and nutrients in damaged tissues, and the outflow of stagnant venous blood improves. This relieves swelling in the joint area.

The action of the substances on nerve receptors reduces the intensity of pain, which returns patients to activity and performance.

The antioxidant effect not only reduces inflammation, but also protects the surrounding tissue. Reactive oxygen species that damage healthy cells are deactivated thanks to the herbal components of the drug.

Indications

In what cases will Astin cream be most effective for treating joints? First of all, indications include diseases accompanied by inflammatory syndrome. These include:

1. Arthritis of any cause: infectious, allergic, rheumatoid.
2. Ankylosing spondylitis, Reiter's syndrome, other rheumatic pathology.
3. Deforming arthrosis in the inflammation stage.
4. Bursitis, tendonitis, injuries and inflammation of joint ligaments.
5. Severe edema and inflammatory syndrome in injuries.

The list can be enumerated, but the final decision to determine the indications is made by the attending physician, taking into account the clinical picture and course of the disease in a particular patient.

Most often, the drug is used for a long-term inflammatory process, for example, rheumatoid arthritis of one or more joints. This is predisposed by Astin's ability to inhibit immune reactions at the site of application, protecting tissues, helping to prevent long-term effects of inflammation.

But even in case of acute pathology, for example, infectious arthritis or injury, the cream will be quite effective due to the interaction of medicinal components.

Contraindications and side effects

Thanks to the correctly selected dosage of components and their natural origin, Astin cream has virtually no contraindications. However, no one is immune from hypersensitivity (allergy) to a particular substance in the ointment. Therefore, it is recommended to carefully read the composition of the drug before using it.

When applying the cream for the first time, use a small dosage and monitor the skin reaction to the drug.

If the skin turns red at the site of application, a rash and itching appear, you need to rinse the drug off under a generous stream of warm water and take an antihistamine, for example, Suprastin.

Adverse reactions in the form of an allergy to the components of Astin are extremely rare, but it does happen, so a preliminary consultation with your doctor is recommended before using any drug.

Application

How to properly use Astin ointment to treat joints? The cream is applied externally 3 times a day. The period of use is not limited to a certain time frame. The advantage of the drug is the possibility of its use for a long time.

Apply a small strip of cream to clean, undamaged skin, then rub the product in with gentle circular movements of the palm of your hand. Try to achieve an even distribution of the product over the skin surface over the damaged joint.

If the inflammatory syndrome is localized deep under the soft tissues and touching does not cause significant pain, you need to rub the cream more intensively.

It is not recommended to apply a bandage immediately after applying the drug.

If the attending physician has prescribed the use of the product with a frequency or volume of use different from that specified in the instructions, you should follow the recommendations. Only a specialist can correctly determine the condition of the joints and other components of the musculoskeletal system.

Storage conditions

Store the drug at room temperature in the range of 5–25 degrees Celsius. It is necessary to close the lid of the package tightly to prevent the substances from losing their therapeutic activity.

The product should be kept away from children, as using the drug in any way other than externally can cause poisoning.

Advantages and disadvantages

Thanks to its unique properties, Astin balm occupies a leading position among drugs used in traumatology. Among its advantages are:

1. Low price.
2. No side effects or visible contraindications.
3. Natural composition.
4. Supplementation of the properties of each of the active components, which provides complex therapy.

6. Efficiency in various pathologies.

Among the disadvantages are:

1. The activity of the drug appears only with long-term use. Do not expect relief after the first application.
2. Possibility of developing allergies to substances contained in the drug.
3. Astin only relieves acute symptoms, but does not treat the underlying cause of the problem.

In any case, before starting to use this product, it is recommended to consult with your doctor.

Advantages and disadvantages

Astin ointment has certain characteristics that allow it to take its place in the anti-inflammatory drug market. The advantages of the drug include:

1. Low cost.
2. Minimal number of adverse reactions.
3. Natural origin of components.
4. Drug interactions.
5. Possibility of prolonged use.

Like any other drug, Astin has disadvantages that must be taken into account when choosing a drug. These include:

1. Moderate activity. The inflammatory syndrome decreases with prolonged and frequent use.
2. Possibility of developing adverse allergic reactions to the components of the product.
3. The drug does not act on the cause of the disease, it eliminates only the symptoms of inflammation.

Taking into account the listed indicators, it is necessary to make a choice about the need to use Astin cream for the treatment of joint disease. Be guided in your choice by the doctor’s recommendations after undergoing a comprehensive examination.

Principles of use, features of use by pregnant and lactating women

Astin joint balm is applied in a small layer at least 3 times a day. The duration of treatment is unlimited; this drug can be used for quite a long time. It is very important to thoroughly cleanse the skin and treat it with a local antiseptic before application. The product is rubbed in with light massage movements, without effort. It is necessary that the product is completely absorbed.

If pain symptoms are felt deep in the joints, then the drug is rubbed in more intensely. After complete absorption, it is recommended to make an elastic bandage that will help keep the limb at rest.

In some cases, doctors may prescribe a different treatment regimen based on the patient's clinical picture.

It is important to note that this drug is strictly prohibited for use during pregnancy or lactation. This is due to the high risk of absorption of Astin components into the systemic circulation.

Not recommended for use by children and elderly people. During treatment, it is strictly forbidden to drink alcohol.

Interaction with other drugs

Astin joint ointment should not be used in conjunction with erythromycin and cyclosporine antibiotics and antifungal drugs, as this can cause severe myopathy.

In some cases, Astin cream is used in the complex treatment of diseases:

1. Degenerative-dystrophic nature. In this case, chondoprotective drugs and physiotherapeutic procedures are prescribed in parallel.
2. Rheumatic . In parallel, cytostatics and anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed. Sometimes the patient may require surgical intervention, after which it is advisable to prescribe Astin cream.

Combination with other treatment methods

You should not assume that the exclusive use of one drug for the treatment of joints can save the patient from the disease. Despite the effectiveness of the described remedy, the medicine should be used in combination with other therapeutic methods:

1. For degenerative diseases, it is possible to use chondroprotectors and physiotherapy to curb the process of destruction of cartilage and bone tissue.
2. Rheumatic diseases often require the use of cytostatics and other systemic anti-inflammatory drugs.
3. Some forms of joint pathology require surgical correction; in this case, the use of natural anti-inflammatory drugs is ineffective and is of an auxiliary nature.

Always follow the recommendations of your doctor; you should not replace an expensive effective remedy with a natural drug if they affect different mechanisms of the disease. A combination of medications will bring a greater therapeutic effect.

Consumer Opinion

Reviews of Astin ointment confirm its effectiveness, which does not appear immediately, but over time.

I am a professional athlete and often encounter various joint injuries. As an auxiliary therapy, doctors prescribed Astin ointment. Its effectiveness did not manifest itself immediately, but after some time. Among the advantages I can highlight the natural composition and affordability.

Where can you buy Astin balm, its price and analogues

You can buy the product at any pharmacy without a prescription. The average cost ranges from 90 to 250 rubles.

• Diclofenac ointment;

• Bystrumgel;
• Nise gel (contains nimesulide).

In general, to replace Astin cream, doctors use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or medications containing hormonal components. However, these groups of medications have a number of serious contraindications and side effects, so before use you must consult your doctor.
