FAO: All IDUs
I would like to share this with all other IDUs, as it may help you maintain good vein health. Even with the circulation of injection sites, a lot of us IDUs can have trouble with veins collapsing or becoming inflamed and restricted. I would like to offer a highly effective stratagem to reduce the likelihood of veins collapsing or becoming unusable.
(Algesal) Diethylamine Salicylate (Local Analgesic Cream)
The cream's primary function is muscular and/or rheumatic pain, but it's primary ingredient, is also highly effective at reducing inflammation and has a mild anticoagulant (blood-thinning) effects. When rubbed into an injection site (Not until the injection site has had a few minutes to heal over/stopped bleeding), it reduces inflammation, pain and prevents the vein from collapsing via clots forming at the puncture site. This method has been shown to be effective in personal and other anecdotal settings. As of yet, there is no clinical evidence to suggest its efficacy, but that is hardly surprising.
Algesal cream contains the active ingredient diethylamine salicylate, which is a derivative of salicylic acid.
Diethylamine salicylate has anti-inflammatory and painkilling actions. The act of massaging the cream into the painful area also helps relieve symptoms.
Remember: This is NO replacement for proper injection technique, and alternating injection sites, but it offers a supplementary treatment that may aid and offer harm-reduction to frequent injectors.
Also: Avoid using the cream for more than 5 days in a row on the same site, as this can cause excessive redness, skin dryness and even light peeling. These effects, however, are very temporary and can be avoided by following the aforementioned guidelines.
I hope this is helpful to people. If you require more information, please don't hesitate to post or message me and I'll do my best to aid you.
