Over the years, varicose disease not only does not slow down, but also becomes more common. To a greater extent, representatives of the fair sex are affected by this ailment. The disease develops due to an improper lifestyle, frequent hormonal treatment, due to bad habits and wearing uncomfortable high-heeled shoes. Also, varicose veins have a great chance of appearing during pregnancy and after childbirth. Far from the last role in the manifestation of pathology is heredity. If your mother, grandmother or aunt had varicose veins, then it is likely that sooner or later the disease will affect you.
Varicose vein treatment
Modern methods of pathology correction suggest several treatment options. So, it can be a surgical operation or laser therapy. Increasingly, women are using such a procedure as vein sclerosis. Venotonics for varicose veins also gained great popularity and trust of doctors and patients. It is about them that we will discuss later. You will find out what kind of drug can have.
Venotonics for varicose veins of the legs
As you know, varicose veins affect only the lower extremities of a person. Of course, diseases can be in other areas of blood vessels and arteries, however, such pathologies have a slightly different name.
Venotonics for varicose veins are prescribed to almost all patients with complaints. Also, these medicines must be taken after surgical treatment. Varicose veins is a very insidious disease. Pathology may not manifest itself for quite some time. Very often, varicose veins occur in the pelvic area. It can be detected only during a thorough examination. Despite the absence of complaints, patients need competent treatment. Otherwise, varicose veins will spread to other parts of the lower extremities. Already in this case, the patient will begin to feel discomfort and pain.
Venotonics for varicose veins of the legs can be of different composition and method of application. It all depends on the individual characteristics of the patient and the severity of his illness. Consider some drugs.
Detralex tablets
Perhaps one of the most popular drugs is Detralex. The active substance is based on a flavonoid fraction in an amount of 500 milligrams. Also in the capsules is diosmin (450 milligrams) and other constituent substances.
Detralex tablets favorably affect the state of the veins of the whole organism. The drug slightly dilutes the blood, increases the tone of capillaries and blood vessels, reduces their fragility and permeability. Also, the tablets affect the legs, relieving swelling and heaviness. Thanks to this, the patient feels much better and can remain operational longer.
Similar drugs for varicose veins are also prescribed for the treatment of hemorrhoids. It is worth noting that Detralex tablets are the most effective in this correction. The drug is recommended to be taken both for prophylaxis to alleviate the initial symptoms, and for the treatment of serious pathologies after surgery.
Detralex tablets are prescribed in the following dosage: two capsules should be taken per day. The duration of the course depends on the complexity of the situation and averages two months.
The price of the medicine depends on the size of the package. A large pack (60 tablets) costs about 1,500 rubles.
Venus Pills
This tool is the Russian analogue of the Detralex drug. The medicine contains 450 milligrams of diosmin and 50 milligrams of dispiridine. Also in tablets are additional components. It is worth noting that the composition of the Venarus and Detralex tablets is almost the same. However, the price of a domestic product is much lower. So, a large package will cost you about 900 rubles.
Such drugs for varicose veins are prescribed by doctors less frequently than expensive analogues. Venus tablets are prescribed to relieve the symptoms of veins expansion. The drug relieves fatigue of the lower extremities, increases vascular tone and improves blood flow. It is worth saying that Venus tablets are almost never prescribed after surgery, but are only a preventive correction.
The drug should be taken two tablets a day: the first tablet should be drunk during the day, and the second with the last meal. The course of admission is determined by the doctor individually.
Pills "Phlebodia"
This type of medicine is also an analogue of the famous Detralex. However, this preparation contains 600 milligrams of diosmin. This suggests that such venotonics (drugs) are more powerful in their action.
This tool, like the previous analogues, alleviates the symptoms of varicose veins: relieves swelling, improves blood flow, increases the tone and strength of capillaries. Also, the drug is prescribed in especially severe cases when it is impossible to carry out surgery. The obvious plus that such venotonics (drugs) have is the possibility of treatment while a woman is waiting for a baby to be born.

Such a preparation can be in capsule form or in gel form. If in the first case you have to drink pills, then in the second you will need to apply the drug to the affected areas of the lower extremities.
The main active ingredient of the drug is grape leaf extract. Because of its safety, the drug can be used during pregnancy and lactation. Means "Antistax" relieves pain and swelling of the lower extremities. Also, the active substance improves blood circulation. It is worth noting that the medicine is more aimed at relieving symptoms than treating varicose veins.

Means "Doppelherts"
If you have varicose veins, treatment for which drugs should be selected only by a doctor can be based on the use of dietary supplements. An example of such a tool is the drug "Doppelherz". It contains fish oil and supplements.
Doctors in the treatment of varicose veins rarely prescribe such a remedy. It increases vascular permeability, improves blood flow and has a beneficial effect on the whole body. The drug is an excellent prophylactic, but does not have a therapeutic effect on the veins and blood vessels.
The course of admission is three months. One capsule should be taken per day. Also, this tool is available in liquid form. The price of the drug is about 500 rubles for 80 capsules.
Means "Troxevasin"

If you have varicose veins, treatment, medications may be different. So, the drug "Troxevasin" is available in the form of capsules and gel. You can choose what is right for you. It is worth noting that capsules have an effect on the whole body. The gel acts only on the place where it was applied.

Apply the drug from one to five times a day. It all depends on the individual course of the disease. The course of admission is determined by the doctor.
It is worth saying that the heparin ointment is quite inexpensive. One bottle will cost you only from 50 to 80 rubles. It is worth remembering that the drug has a resolving and tonic effect. However, he does not relieve the symptoms of varicose veins.
Venotonic: reviews
All drugs have mostly positive reviews. What do doctors say about this?
