10 best venotonics for varicose veins

Phlebologists prescribe this medicine exclusively as part of the complex treatment of varicose veins in the legs. In addition to routine, the drug contains ascorbic acid. Domestic venotonic strengthens blood vessels, reduces swelling, eliminates other signs of inflammation. The recommended dosage of the drug is one tablet 2-3 times a day. The therapeutic course usually does not exceed three weeks.

Askorutin is highly praised on the Web. Patients note the effect of the drug at its very modest price. The tablets are small, have a sour taste, are swallowed easily and rarely cause side effects. According to experts, this venotonic not only strengthens the vascular walls, but also enhances the body's immune defenses. As a prophylactic, Askorutin is completely priceless.

The well-known drug "Diclofenac" has a multidisciplinary effect. It is often prescribed to patients suffering from various joint diseases (arthritis, arthrosis). It helps well with neuralgia and rheumatic lesions of soft tissues. No less justified is the use of "Diclofenac" as part of the complex therapy of varicose veins and other vascular pathologies. The main advantage of this medication is its ability to almost instantly relieve pain. This helps a lot in situations where the feeling of heaviness in the legs torments, the veins become inflamed or swelling appears.

"Diclofenac" has several forms of release: ointment, tablets, injection and rectal suppositories. As a venotonic, it is recommended to use local anesthetics: gels or creams. We categorically do not recommend drinking or taking the drug in any other way without consulting a doctor. According to the latest medical research, its components have a very detrimental effect on the functioning of the digestive system, and also increase the risk of heart attacks and attacks of hypertension. Despite this, Diclofenac has been considered one of the best non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for many years, which has helped thousands of patients alleviate their condition during illness.

Gel for local use from the German company Berlin-Chemie is well known to Russian buyers. This is one of the first funds that "loudly" entered our Russian pharmacy market, becoming for some time one of the most popular venotonics.Now, due to increased competition, Lyoton has lost its position a little, but it is still in rather high demand, due to its affordable price and fairly quick effect.

Patients suffering from varicose veins appreciate the drug for its good anticoagulant, decongestant and anti-inflammatory properties. If you rub the gel into the damaged areas at least 2 times a day, the result becomes noticeable after the first week. With its help, you can not only improve the condition of the veins in the legs, but also stop the consequences of bruises in muscle tissue, tendons or joints of the arms and legs (for example, reduce subcutaneous hematomas). Since Lyoton is based on sodium heparin, it cannot be recommended for people with hypersensitivity to this substance. The list of contraindications also includes reduced blood clotting and thrombocytopenia.

The next cure for varicose veins on our list is Venarus tablets, which many consider a worthy replacement for the expensive French Detralex. Indeed, the composition of these two drugs is almost identical: in both cases, the active ingredient is a combination of diosmin and hesperidin. Users noted that in the Russian analogue, the pills are larger in size, which creates some discomfort when swallowing. To prevent this from happening, women in their reviews advise cutting them in half and drinking in two batches.

With regular use, "Venarus" reduces the extensibility of the veins, eliminates blood stasis and helps to solve the problem of heaviness in the legs.The recommended dose for venous-lymphatic insufficiency is no more than 2 tablets per day. The average course of treatment is from 3 months. up to a year. Of the undesirable consequences that may occur when using this venotonic, one can single out the appearance of a rash on the skin, headache and upset of the digestive tract. But all these reactions are associated with an overdose or non-compliance with the intake schedule, as well as with individual intolerance to the components.

Another representative in the form of capsules. The dry extract of red grape leaves is responsible for the therapeutic effect here. It contains quercetin and isoquercetin (flavanoids). The drug is successfully used for both therapeutic and prophylactic purposes. You have to drink the medicine once a day, two capsules at a time - it is better in the morning before breakfast. On the recommendation of a phlebologist, the dosage of the remedy can be increased to four capsules per day. The course lasts up to 3 months.

In the reviews, patients note that the capsules are swallowed easily, they do not cause unpleasant symptoms from the gastrointestinal tract. The obvious advantage of the representative is its phytocomposition. However, patients who have been living with varicose veins for more than one year note that Antistax does not act as quickly as analogues - it is better to drink it at the initial stage of the disease or to prevent varicose veins.

Fifth place in our ranking of the best venotonics is occupied by the Russian drug Flebaven. This is nothing more than a generic Detralex.The manufacturer produces the drug in a dosage of 500 mg. The active ingredients of the drug are diosmin and hesperidin. Flebaven should be taken twice a day - preferably in the morning and evening with meals. The tablets are quite large but easy to swallow. If you believe the reviews of patients, the first noticeable improvements in the condition are noted already after 1-2 weeks of taking the drug - signs of varicose veins on the legs become less noticeable.

This venotonic turned out to be among the best, because it perfectly tones the veins, strengthens the walls of blood vessels, and improves blood circulation in the legs. At the same time, the list of possible side effects of this drug is not wider than that of an imported analogue. Only a few patients in their reviews note gastrointestinal disorders after taking the pills. If any unpleasant symptoms appear, the course should be suspended and contact your doctor.

The drug for venous insufficiency "Venoruton" has shown itself to be excellent in the treatment of the chronic course of the disease, including in quite neglected conditions. It is based on rutoside, which has the ability to reduce the destructive effect of toxic oxygen radicals, restore the elasticity of the walls of blood vessels, prevent the formation of trophic ulcers, and reduce pain and swelling in the legs. Each capsule of "Venoruton" contains at least 300 mg of this substance, which is optimal for the treatment and prevention of varicose veins.

This venotonic should be used regularly, 3 times a day until the pathological symptoms decrease. According to user reviews, improvement occurs after 10 days of therapy, after which the dosage is reduced to 2 units per day.Today, in a pharmacy, you can buy not only medicine for oral administration, but also rutoside in the form of a cream (ointment). The drug is produced by the transnational pharmaceutical corporation Novartis. The Indian "Venoruton" is most often supplied to Russia, but it happens that there are packages of Swiss or French production. The number of tablets in one pack is 50 pcs.

Venotonic "Phlebodia 600" many doctors call among themselves nothing more than a medicine for the lazy. The reason for this was a convenient intake schedule - just one tablet per day, which you need to drink in the morning on an empty stomach. It should be borne in mind that the dosage can be increased if we are talking not only about the pathology of the lower extremities, but also about the treatment of hemorrhoids formed as a result of varicose veins.

The tablets contain the flavonoid diosmin, which has a good phlebotonizing effect. To achieve the best effect during the course of therapy, it is necessary to use other prevention methods: wear special compression underwear for good blood circulation, improve sleep, give up bad habits and diversify your diet with healthy foods. Judging by the reviews, "Flebodia 600" copes well with the task, helping women get rid of heaviness and pain in the legs. But almost all patients noticed that the effect of the treatment passes quickly if the principles of a healthy lifestyle are not followed.

"Detralex" refers to monopreparations, which are based on only one type of active angioprotectors. The active substance of the drug is the flavonoids of diosmin and hesperidin, which have a beneficial effect on blood vessels and have a high venoprotective effect.

According to reviews, most patients experienced a significant improvement in their well-being, especially noting a persistent positive effect that remains for a long time after the end of therapy. The buyers called the main drawback of the drug its high cost - at least 1,500 rubles. per pack of 60 tab. Otherwise, this is one of the best non-surgical treatment options for problem veins.

The first place in our rating is occupied by Troxevasin - undoubtedly the most popular drug for the treatment of varicose veins in our country. Its demand is explained by the successful combination of a low price with an effective result, confirmed by numerous scientific studies and years of therapeutic practice.
