  • Eucalyptus oil;
  • camphor;
  • menthol;
  • turpentine oil (see also:);
  • thymol;
  • nutmeg oil;
  • white hard paraffin as an auxiliary element.


Nutmeg oil has strong anti-inflammatory properties

Pharmacological action of the ointment

This ointment acts as an anti-inflammatory, warming, irritating and analgesic. The reason for the cumulative therapeutic effect that the drug has is the components present in it:

  1. Eucalyptus oil promotes disinfection and causes a warming effect. It also has an antibacterial, aromatherapeutic effect. This substance is produced in the process of extracting the resin of myrtle plants.
  2. Camphor is known for its antiseptic and antiphlogistic qualities. Its effect is manifested immediately after entering the body. Despite the fact that it is quite harmless, it is advisable not to use it for children under 2 years of age.
  3. Thanks to menthol, blood vessels expand, plus it has a stimulating effect. Due to all this, a warming effect is achieved. As a result, the movement of existing sputum is accelerated and their faster exit, which is important in the process of cough treatment.
  4. Similar to the "Asterisk" remedy, turpentine oil warms, exerting a thermal effect when quickly penetrating under the skin. This type of oil is obtained from the resin of coniferous trees.
  5. Thymol is a disinfectant, the action of which is relevant if it is necessary to treat a viral disease of the throat and nasopharynx.
  6. The anti-inflammatory effect that is observed due to nutmeg oils is achieved as a result of the fact that these oils, when in contact with the skin, interfere with the production of prostaglandin.


Camphor is extremely active, so it is best not to use it on children under 2 years of age.

This ointment does not have a systemic effect on the body. This is due to the fact that the absorption of the active substances of the drug into the general bloodstream does not occur.

It is important to use the ointment only in places of potential infection by a virus or bacteria:

  • when coughing, it must be applied to the chest, neck and back;
  • with nasal congestion and runny nose - on top of the nasal wings, while you need to make sure that the ointment does not get on the mucous membrane of the eye.

This should be done by making light movements, rubbing and massaging the skin in the area of ​​application. In order to improve the effect of warming, you can make a warm wrap.

If the child's bronchi are affected, then it is advisable to smear the feet and heels with the drug.

Instruction and dosage

Doctor Mom in the form of an ointment is used exclusively externally, while it is forbidden to apply the drug to the mucous membranes. The doctor is obliged to prescribe the dosage and the specific course of treatment, based on the symptoms of the disease that are observed in the patient. Usually the course lasts a week, but it can also be extended if necessary at the discretion of the specialist.

In the instructions for use, it is prescribed to apply a thin layer of ointment to dry skin 1-2 times a day. Rub it in with massaging movements until it is completely absorbed:

  • If the baby has rhinitis and an inflammatory process in the nasal cavity, the agent is applied to the nasal wings. The drug should not enter the nasal cavity. The child will inhale the fumes, and thus provide an inhalation effect.
  • With SARS, it is necessary to smear the back and chest, rubbing and massaging until the ointment is completely absorbed. Rubbing is best done at night, wrapping the child well after the procedure. At high temperatures, rubbing is contraindicated - this can aggravate the condition, further raising the body temperature.
  • In case of a headache, apply a little on the fingertips and massage the temporal region with them.
  • If muscles or joints hurt, the drug should be gently rubbed only on painful areas.

Side effects and overdose

In case of hypersensitivity to the components of the drug, its use can lead to:

  • an allergic reaction with a severe rash, flushing of the skin and urticaria;
  • dryness and peeling of the skin at the site of application;
  • burning and itching of the skin;
  • bronchospasm and lacrimation, as a result of ointment vapor entering the respiratory tract.

In most cases, these side effects do not occur and do not pose a threat to human health. When they appear, therapy with this remedy can be continued only after consulting a doctor.

Since the treatment is local in nature, an overdose is also impossible, especially since the active ingredients do not enter the bloodstream. As for the use simultaneously with other drugs, this drug only enhances the therapeutic effect of the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and antiviral drugs.

When applying Doctor Mom ointment, it is very important to control the process and make sure that the product does not get on the mucous membranes and eyes. At the end of the procedures with the drug, you should always wash your hands well with soap and water. If the ointment gets into the eyes, first of all, rinse them thoroughly with running water. In the future, you should consult an ophthalmologist.
