The drug belongs to the group of drugs used topically for muscle and joint pain. Menovazin is a combination drug, the pharmacological properties of which are determined by the substances it contains.
Menthol irritates nerve endings and causes dilation of blood vessels near the skin. This creates a feeling of coolness on the skin and also has some analgesic effect.

Anestezin also exhibits a local anesthetic effect.
Thanks to the mutual reinforcement of each other's components, the following effects are achieved:
- anesthetic;
- distracting;
- antipruritic;
- cooling;
- local anesthetic;
- decongestant.

How does he work
We will talk about how you can use the drug if you want to use it to cope with sinusitis.
In the case of sinusitis, the drug affects three main mechanisms of the disease. Thus, we get the following effects:
- inflammatory elements are inhibited;
- swelling decreases;
- accumulated mucus masses are removed.
When such a unique folk remedy as Menovazin is used, after treating the nose, accumulations begin to be released from it. Moreover, Menovazin is able to cope with mucus with purulent inclusions, purulent yellow-green snot with a characteristic unpleasant odor, as well as bloody discharge.
According to the instructions for the drug, its active ingredients together are a powerful local anesthetic. When it gets on the skin, it concentrates in the upper layer, blocks nerve impulses and does not penetrate the bloodstream. This eliminates the possibility of negative reactions if the patient is taking other medications at the same time.
With sinusitis, which is treated with Menovazin, the condition is normalized, the pain is gradually eliminated and then completely disappears.
How to use for sinusitis
For sinusitis, Menovazin is used to lightly rub the area above the maxillary sinuses. To enhance the effect, you can cover the treated area with a cotton napkin or cloth.
Application of the drug must be carried out with careful movements. Contact with eyes should be avoided. If this happens, then you need to rinse your eyes with plenty of water and consult an ophthalmologist. For the same purpose, immediately after using the medicine, you must thoroughly wash your hands with soap to prevent accidental contact of the medicine with the mucous membranes.
Important! Under no circumstances should you drip Menovazine solution into your nose! This can lead to serious consequences, such as severe damage and burns to the nasal mucosa.
Instructions for use for sinusitis
The method of using the medicine is external only . Before performing medical procedures, you should wash your face and dry the skin. The tool can be used in two ways:
- Menovazin for sinusitis in the form of an ointment is applied to the sinuses, rubbed into the skin until completely absorbed for 3-5 minutes. The procedure is recommended to be carried out three times a day, for 7-21 days.
- The alcohol solution is used in the form of compresses. Cotton material is moistened with the liquid and placed overnight in the area of the nose and maxillary sinuses. If discomfort, burning or itching occurs, the lotion can be removed. The next morning, thick purulent discharge will leave the nasal cavity. After the procedure, the patient is recommended to rinse the nostrils with a solution of sea salt or another drug, for example, Aqualor.
If the substance gets on the mucous membranes of the nose or eyes, they should be rinsed immediately with water.
It is necessary to treat sinusitis with Menovazine daily for one to two weeks. If necessary, the duration of therapy is extended to 3 weeks. It is allowed to re-use the product after 2 weeks.
In addition to applying the substance to the maxillary sinuses, lubrication of the forehead and temples is allowed. This will help enhance the therapeutic effect of the drug and get rid of unpleasant sensations in the head much faster.
Treatment of sinusitis with Menovazin involves alternating these methods. If 7 days after use no positive dynamics are observed, the patient should consult a doctor and change the method of therapy .
The duration of use of the medication in any form should not exceed 4 weeks.
Features of the drug Menovazin
Menovazin for sinusitis began to be used in folk medicine, since the drug was not originally intended to treat just such a problem. However, someone once tried it to eliminate a disease of the maxillary sinuses and was right. Since then, the use of Menovazin has become wider and more popular.
In many ways, this popularity of the product is explained by the fact that its effectiveness has been proven through multiple tests, it is inexpensive and there is absolutely nothing complicated in using Menovazin.
Menovazin is a means of external use and local exposure. At its core, it is a pain reliever. It has a unique structure, which has no analogues.
In total, Menovazin consists of three active substances, which, when interacting, enhance each other.
- Menthol. It is characterized by a distracting, analgesic and disinfecting effect. When menthol is on the skin, it irritates the nerve endings and causes a burning, cold and tingling sensation. Menthol also helps relieve itching,
- Anestezin. Menovazine is based on the use of benzococaine. With its help, pain impulses are blocked. The active substance does not allow impulses to spread throughout the body, thereby guaranteeing an analgesic effect,
- Novocaine. A feature of this component is its average short-term anesthetic activity. The substance blocks sodium channels and, as a result, prevents the pain signal from spreading along the nerve fibers.
Taking into account the effect of the active components of Menovazine, the drug can:
- will relieve pain,
- warm up a little
- relieve itching,
- distract, etc.
Side effects and special instructions
Complications sometimes occur during treatment. Most often this is caused by improper use of the medicine.
It is especially important to do the procedures correctly when treating sinusitis, since the skin of the face comes into contact with the medication.
After use, undesirable reactions may occur:
- Low blood pressure, with dizziness and weakness.
- Contact dermatitis.
- There is itching and burning in the area of application.
- Urticaria, very rarely Quincke's edema.
- Asthenia with improper treatment is extremely rare.
Menovazine is a good, inexpensive and accessible pain reliever, but it cannot eliminate the cause of the disease.
It is better to use it as an additional remedy. It is advisable to use Menovazine in acute forms of sinusitis, since it can very quickly alleviate the patient’s condition.
This means that when treating sinusitis, the symptoms will go away, but very soon they will appear again. In any case, after self-treatment, if sinusitis does not go away, you should consult a doctor.
Detailed composition and release form
Menovazine comes in the form of a clear liquid. Bottles can be 25 ml, 50 ml and 40 ml. The smell is refreshing due to the menthol content. The same component creates a distracting effect from burning and pain.
In addition, the composition contains procaine and benzocaine. These two components inhibit electrical impulses in the nerve endings and the person does not feel pain.
Seventy percent ethyl alcohol acts as an excipient.
Menovazine ointment is available in metal tubes of 40 grams. The active ingredients are the same as in liquid form. Do not use the ointment with other warming preparations.

Menovazine during pregnancy
If the risk of adverse events is less than the expected benefit, the doctor may prescribe Menovazine to a pregnant woman. But as you know, this medicine only affects the superficial layers of the skin, so the risk from its use is minimal.
We looked at how to treat sinusitis with Menovazin, but it is impossible to completely cure sinusitis with this drug alone. It is worth paying attention to this inexpensive remedy for acute symptoms, when you need to quickly alleviate the condition. The drug will help relieve swelling, after which you can begin rinsing your nose and instilling medications prescribed by your doctor. Often the doctor prescribes antibiotics.
What are the side effects
