Lindofluid solution is a liquid circulatory agent. It is used in bedridden patients to prevent the risk of bedsores. In addition, Lindofluid helps with inadequate blood circulation to the skin. The active ingredient camphor and essential oils stimulate blood circulation and refresh and cool the skin.
Lindofluid solution successor to Lindofluid N.
The predecessor of Lindofluid solution was Lindofluid N, which was used for pain after overexertion, back pain and rheumatic complaints. However, sales of Lindofluid N have been discontinued since June 2009. With a new approval and the new active ingredient camphor, Lindofluid solution is now available in pharmacies. The new solution is also used to relax muscles and relieve back tension.
Effect of Lindofluid
The preparation acts with stimulating camphor and essential oils of spruce, eucalyptus, lemon and pine. When the Lindofluid solution is massaged into the skin, muscles relax and loosen, and blood circulation is stimulated. In addition, the fresh scent also contributes to mental relaxation. Athletes can massage Lindofluid solution into the calves and thighs before competitions or heavy physical exertion to prevent sore muscles. The preparation can also help with soft tissue rheumatism, bruises, muscle cramps, muscle stiffness or lumbago.
According to the manufacturer, the liquid should be sprayed four times a day in small doses on the affected areas and lightly massaged into the skin. Children under the age of six should not be treated with Lindofluid. As there are not yet sufficient studies available, Lindofluid solution should not be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The remedy is suitable for external use only.

Sensitive patients may be hypersensitive to the ingredients camphor and eucalyptus, which may cause respiratory distress.
