Apireven

Apireven is available in two release forms, gel in a 150 ml tube and cream in a 33 ml tube.

Apireven gel is intended for external use and has a cooling and soothing effect, thanks to its content of menthol, natural extracts (arnica, cajeput, eucalyptus, turmeric) and bee venom. Its light formula allows rapid absorption into the skin.

Apireven cream is designed as a massage cream with warming properties, combining bee venom, chili pepper extract, camphor, propolis and methyl nicotinate. This combination stimulates peripheral circulation, providing a feeling of comfort and muscle relaxation.

Apireven is indicated in various situations involving discomfort in the musculoskeletal system:

• Joint discomfort associated with stiffness or inflammation
• Muscle pain and tension caused by physical overuse
• Tendinopathies and other soft tissue disorders
• Muscle revitalization after strenuous physical activity
• Local relaxation of tense or inflamed areas

The propolis in Apireven is a complex beekeeping product consisting of resins, balsams, polyphenolic compounds, volatile oils and mineral salts, with antiseptic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anesthetic properties.

Bee venom, secreted by worker bees, contains peptides (melittin, apamin), enzymes (phospholipases, hyaluronidase) and amino acids, and has a strong anti-inflammatory action.

Apireven gel is applied as needed in a thin layer to the affected areas. Massage gently until completely absorbed.

Apireven cream is applied in small amounts, massaging gently without excessive pressure. For a prolonged effect, the treated area may be covered with a natural fiber fabric such as wool.

The use of Apireven products is contraindicated in the following cases:

• Known allergy to bee products or any of the product ingredients
• Application to skin with open sores, wounds or scars
• Use in sensitive areas such as around the eyes or mouth

The product should not be used for long periods without medical advice.

Any temporary reddening of the treated area is normal and signals the effectiveness of the product. If the reaction persists, use should be discontinued.

Reported side effects include:

• Local allergic reactions such as itching, rash or prolonged redness
• Burning or irritation, especially if the product is applied in excess

If unpleasant symptoms occur, consult your doctor for personalized recommendations.

There are no specific data on interactions of Apireven products with medicines or foods.

However, caution is advised when used concomitantly with other topical products to avoid overlapping effects or skin irritation.

Local irritation or a burning sensation may occur with excessive application. If symptoms are severe, the area should be washed with soap and water.

In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical advice immediately.
