Incena inhibits the production of inflammatory mediators and prevents the accumulation of macrophages and leukocytes in the focus of inflammation.

The properties of mineralocorticoid preparations are uncharacteristic for the drug.
Capillary peppers help to contract smooth muscles, expand capillaries and increase their permeability.
The active component of belladonna is atropine, which has anesthetic, bronchodilator and antispasmodic effect. It also dilates the pupils, increases intraocular pressure and improves heart function.
Lumbago meadow is characterized by diuretic, analgesic, sedative and bactericidal action.
Bee venom improves vascular permeability and accelerates blood circulation, lowers cholesterol, blood clotting and viscosity, enhances total nitrogen production and increases hemoglobin levels, and has anti-inflammatory properties.
The neurotropic component of snake venom eliminates pain syndrome, and enzymes with hyaluronidase activity intensify tissue regeneration.
