VD-26649-17
20g Vietnamese topical cream
Product Overview
What Is Cobratoxan?
Cobratoxan is a topical skin cream supplied in a box containing one 20g tube. The manufacturer-supplied leaflet lists cobra venom, methyl salicylate and peppermint oil in the formulation.
The packaging shows registration number VD-26649-17 and product standard TCCS. The enclosed directions identify Cơ sở sản xuất Đông dược 408 as the manufacturing facility.
The stated indications are for symptomatic treatment of pain. That wording matters: the supplied product information does not describe Cobratoxan as a cure for arthritis, sciatica or the underlying cause of persistent musculoskeletal pain.
