Aloe vera
The next most popular ointment is aloe vera extract. Most often it is sold in jars as in the photo, but it also comes in smaller tubes. Aloe is not a Vietnamese ointment; it is produced in South Korea.
Please note Aloe comes in 92% and 100% percentages. The price for a jar of 100% aloe is higher, ranging from 100 to 250 thousand dong. Sold in all pharmacies and shopping centers.
It is used to restore skin, it helps very well with sunburn, which is probably why it is sold so actively.
We bought aloe in both Vietnam and South Korea, the contents seem to be the same, but the packaging is different in appearance; nowhere in Vietnam did we find packaging with a hologram, like on Korean cans.
So most likely All aloe in Vietnam is either counterfeit or fake. But I repeat, the contents are the same, so take it, because the main thing is that it helps.

Cobratoxan ointment
We wrote about Cobratoxan in as much detail as possible in the article “Cobratoxan Ointment: instructions, indications, analogues.”
Now the most popular ointment among those coming to Vietnam is Cobratoxan, the name speaks for itself, it consists of two words cobra and tox - poison. The ointment contains cobra venom in the amount of 0.0005 grams. The king cobra is famous for being one of the three creatures on earth that never get sick, so God’s poor creature is used 100%: they eat meat, add blood to vodka, drink bile, dress their skin, and sell their teeth.
A tube of cobrotoxan is small - 20 grams, so they usually buy a package of 10 tubes. The cost of one tube is about 21,000 dong ($1).
Instructions in Russian are not included with cobrotoxan, only in Vietnamese and English. It is recommended to apply once a day, for acute pain - 2 times, but no more than 10 days in a row, to prevent an overdose.
Do not apply the ointment to wet skin - it will burn severely.
Cobratoxan ointment is a well-known remedy based on snake venom, made in Vietnam. This is a unique combination of ancient traditions of Eastern medicine with innovative pharmaceutical production technologies.
The opportunity to buy Cobratoxan in Russian online pharmacies appeared not so long ago, but in a short time it has gained recognition among the population. Reviews of Cobratoxan confirm the high quality and effectiveness of Vietnamese ointments and balms. The price fully corresponds to its medicinal properties, because the use of Cobratoxan provides the desired result in a fairly short time.
Composition of the drug
According to the instructions, Cobratoxan ointment consists of several components, the combination of which complements and enhances the healing effect of each of them.
- Cobra venom (0.0005 g). The main component of the product with the most valuable properties. The venom of this snake is considered one of the most expensive in the pharmaceutical industry, because the cobra secretes it in minute quantities. The price of Cobratoxan ointment is determined by the content of this particular component. Microdoses of cobra venom can eliminate inflammation, relieve pain, and improve blood microcirculation.
- Salicylic acid methyl ester (2.8 g). Methyl salicylate is one of the dosage forms of salicylic acid, which has properties similar to aspirin: analgesic and anti-inflammatory. It is obtained mainly artificially and is found in willow bark. Methyl salicylate is characterized by a sharp, specific odor and high toxicity (in its pure form).
- Menthol (0.588 g). A travel essential oil of mint that has a strong, fresh aroma. Menthol is known for its sedative, analgesic, and mild antiseptic effect, which is why it is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. It is also capable of constricting peripheral blood vessels, causing a slight sensation of coolness (“menthol freshness”) at the site of application.
- Emulsion substances (20 g). They play a supporting role, facilitating the application and absorption of the drug.
The ointment has a transparent white color and a characteristic odor (due to the content of essential oils). The medicine is released in a tube with a dosage of 20 grams.
The Vietnamese drug has a number of therapeutic effects, having experienced which, buyers do not skimp on positive reviews about Cobratoxan. By reflexively acting on superficial skin receptors, it relieves pain. Penetrating deep into the tissues, the active substances reduce the activity of the inflammatory process.
The therapeutic result is based only on local effects; the percentage of absorption of Cobratoxan ointment does not exceed 10%. Absorbed substances are released into bile and excreted from the body through the intestines.
An ointment based on cobra venom has quite extensive indications for use. According to the manufacturer's instructions, you can buy Cobratoxan to treat the following diseases:
- pathology of joints of traumatic, inflammatory, or degenerative origin (arthritis, arthrosis, synovitis, bursitis, dislocations);
- damage (ruptures) of the menisci;
- osteochondrosis in the acute and chronic stages (sciatica of the cervical, thoracic, lumbar spine);
- neuro-reflex syndromes (sciatica, cervicobrachialgia);
- inflammatory processes in muscles (myositis);
- damage to nerve endings (neuritis, neuralgia);
- damage to the musculoskeletal system due to intense sports loads (strains);
- pathological muscle spasms: torticollis (damage to the sternocleidomastoid muscle), cramps (painful cramps of the lower leg muscles).
Regardless of the nature of the pathological process, the medicine provides a worthy therapeutic result. This is confirmed by positive reviews about Cobratoxan on the websites of Vietnamese online stores, which have already tested the healing properties of its composition.
Cobratoxan ointment is used externally on clean and dry skin. A small amount of the drug (approximately the size of a match head in diameter) is applied to the surface of the dermis over the sore spot and rubbed in with light massaging movements until completely absorbed.
- • The optimal course of treatment is no more than 10 days.
- • Use the medicine twice a day after an equal amount of time.
- • Two to three grams of ointment should be applied per application.
- • One tube is enough for 3-4 days.
Since Cobratoxan contains microdoses of cobra venom (in its pure form it is a potent toxin), it can have a locally irritating effect. Avoid contact of the product with mucous membranes and damaged skin surfaces. After applying the ointment, hands should be washed thoroughly with soap, or rubber gloves should be used. The use of Cobratoxan internally is unacceptable.
In order to achieve the maximum therapeutic effect, while avoiding possible side effects from Cobratoxan ointment, the instructions for use must be strictly followed.
Contraindications
In some cases, the use of Cobratoxan is not recommended:
- * Damage to the skin surface at the site of application (abrasions, scratches, burns, ulcers).
- * Inflammatory purulent skin diseases (furuncle, abscess).
- * Allergy (individual intolerance) to ointment components.
- * During pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- * In children under 5 years of age.
- * Active tuberculosis process.

special instructions
An overdose of Cobratoxan may cause side effects: burning sensation, redness of the skin, or rashes in the form of vesicles and pustules. In this situation, the remaining product should be removed with a cotton swab soaked in Vaseline (it can be replaced with any greasy cream) and seek professional medical advice.
A unique drug from Vietnam can be purchased in our online store Iz-Vietnam.ru with delivery throughout the country. The price of Cobratoxan does not exceed the average cost of its Russian analogues.

special instructions
It is not recommended to use the asterisk if you are intolerant to the components, have a tendency to bleed, or have dermatological diseases at the site of application of the drug. Also should not be used for thrombophlebitis, thrombosis.
Treatment of children with the drug is allowed from 5 years of age
It is strictly forbidden to rub the balm onto areas where there are birthmarks and various neoplasms.
It must be used carefully, avoiding contact with the mucous surface of the nasal cavity, eyes and inside. In the latter case, dyspepsia and other disorders of the digestive tract and nervous system are observed. Treatment in this case is symptomatic, medicinal.
White Tiger
White Tiger, despite its name, does not contain components extracted from tiger, only vegetable oils (menthol, mint, cinnamon, sandalwood, etc.)
This is not more of a healing ointment, but a balm. White Tiger relieves pain and improves blood circulation and joint mobility, has an anti-edematous effect, relieves inflammation and muscle fatigue, and promotes the restoration of cartilage and connective tissue.
It is used for pain of the musculoskeletal system: joints, radiculitis, lumbago, rheumatism, sprains, post-traumatic syndrome, muscle and neuralgic pain.
Directions for use: Apply a thin layer of balm to the skin and rub in with massage movements for five minutes.
Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Do not use on open wounds and acute purulent inflammation of the skin.
Price from 20,000 to 30,000 VDN.
The red tiger is stronger than the white one, it is a warming balm. Red Tiger can be used to warm up muscles before sports activities, improve blood circulation during injuries, and warm up during colds.
Najatox (Nayatoks)
Cobratoxan has an analogue, Najatox (Nayatoks) . Naja is Latin for Indian cobra. This ointment for joints is not so advertised, so often tourists don’t even know about it.
The indications and uses of Najatox are similar to cobratoxan; the ointment is used for arthritis, sprains, joint injuries, radiculitis, dislocations, back and neck pain, and the like. But the price per tube is lower, about 18,000 dong, while the tube contains 2 times more - 40 grams, and the content of cobra venom is higher than in cobratoxan.
Nayatox can be found in Russian pharmacies, also made in Vietnam, but slightly different, and the price is several times higher.
The second most popular is EXPLAQ.
We often come across the fact that some patients try to treat psoriasis with Zvezdochka ointments, but in no case should it be applied to damaged skin. Unlike EXPLAQ, which is designed specifically for skin problems.
The instructions describe that you can use the medication to combat:
- Psoriasis and eczema;
- Irritation and peeling of the skin;
- Dermatitis that appears on the feet in adolescence;
- Various types of lichen and other diseases of the dermis.
Such widespread use of Vietnamese ointment explains its composition, which successfully combines advanced developments in the treatment of psoriasis, as well as extracts of medicinal plants.
What can be concluded?
The Vietnamese market is very rich and on it you can find both natural ointments based on cobra venom (for example, Cobratoxan) or essential oils (White Tiger or Asterisk), as well as effective methods for treating joints, psoriasis, hemorrhoids, and nail fungus. You can find options for rapid wound healing (“Levigatus”).
We are sure that our article will help you navigate and buy in Moscow or any other city exactly the ointment that you need. The main thing to remember is that it is extremely important to read the descriptions and instructions for use, as well as check the composition and photos presented in the store.
