kytta

Kytta refers to a brand of medicinal ointments and creams manufactured by the German pharmaceutical company Madaus GmbH, which is now part of the Berlin Chemie Menarini Group. The primary active ingredient in Kytta products is Symphytum officinale extract, commonly known as comfrey. Comfrey is a plant historically used in traditional medicine for its purported healing properties.

Kytta ointments are typically used topically to help alleviate pain and swelling associated with muscle and joint ailments. This can include conditions such as bruises, sprains, strains, and general muscular pain. The comfrey extract is believed to possess anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties that may aid in the healing process.

The products are generally available over-the-counter in many European countries. Users are advised to follow the instructions on the packaging or consult a healthcare professional for appropriate usage. As with any medicinal product, potential side effects can occur, though they are generally considered rare. The long-term use of comfrey on broken skin or internally is generally discouraged due to the presence of pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which can be harmful to the liver. Kytta products are formulated for external application on intact skin.
