Over the past decade, not only an increase in the number of vein diseases has been observed. Today, hormone-dependent phlebopathies, diseases caused by excessive body weight, disorders of the musculoskeletal system are increasingly being diagnosed. Such a prevalence of phlebopathies is associated with lifestyle features of the modern population (physical inactivity, overeating, bad habits). In addition, pregnancy, burdened by heredity, can become provoking factors.
Venous pathology can be localized in various parts of the human body. However, it is most often diagnosed in the veins of the lower extremities. In this case, the disease is accompanied by heaviness in the legs, swelling, painful sensations. In severe forms of the disease, the development of trophic complications with the formation of ulcerative defects is possible. That is why phlebologists strongly recommend starting treatment as early as possible.
Adequate pharmacotherapy can eliminate most of these symptoms and improve the quality of life of the patient, and also slows down the progression of the disease.
How does the medicine work?
"Troxevasin" refers to the group of so-called phlebotonics - medicines that have the ability to increase the tone of the venous walls. Due to this effect, a reduction in the severity of the symptoms of the disease is achieved, blood outflow is restored, and morphological changes regress. Troxevasin is one of the most studied drugs in this group. In medical practice, "Troxevasin" has been used for many years, and therefore we can talk about its proven effectiveness and safety.
In addition, the drug is widely represented in the pharmacy network, it has a very affordable price and can be used for quite some time without any financial burden for the patient. So, for example, the cost of one tube of Troxevasin gel (40 g) is 220-240 rubles (data for December 2017). In modern medicine, Troxevasin has become the drug of choice for both doctors of various specialties and for the patients themselves.
Pharmacologically, the medicine is a complex of substances derived from rutin, the most active of which is hydroxyethyl rutoside. This component has the following therapeutic effects:
- venotonic;
- restoring capillaries;
- decongestant;
- antiaggregant;
- anti-inflammatory;
- anti-exudative.
When the drug is relevant
The main indications for the use of Troxevasin are as follows:
- varicose veins of the lower extremities;
- chronic venous insufficiency;
- phlebitis, thrombophlebitis;
- dermatitis due to venous pathology;
- ulcerative lesions of venous origin;
- hormone-dependent venous diseases;
- venous insufficiency during pregnancy;
- expansion of the veins with hemorrhoids;
- musculoskeletal injuries;
- swelling of tissues with bruises and bruises, sprains;
- increased bleeding gums.
Some women also use Troxevasin from bags and from bruises under the eyes, fromrosacea, to eliminate spider veins or redness after acne on the body and face. However, in this case, the medicine is ineffective. It is important to find and fix the cause of the problem. Serious cosmetic procedures are sometimes required.
In what form is produced
This medicine can be found in capsule and gel form.
- Capsules Contain 0.3 g of the main active substance. In addition, the drug contains additional components: lactose, magnesium compounds, dyes.
- Gel. It contains 0.02 g of the main substance in 1 g. It is convenient to use, it is easily distributed on the surface of the skin and is quickly absorbed, leaves no residue on clothing.
Which form of release will be preferable for the patient is determined by the location and degree of venous pathology. In some cases (for example, with varicose veins of the lower extremities), it is allowed to take two dosage forms simultaneously: capsules and gel. With hemorrhoids they are also used - "Troxevasinum" is not produced in suppositories.
Instructions for use "Troxevasin": gel ...
Troxevasin gel is intended for external use only. It is applied to dry skin without any damage. For this, a small amount of gel is squeezed onto the arm and gently distributed over the area where the venous pathology is localized. After that, gently rub the gel so that it is completely absorbed. This procedure must be repeated twice a day with an interval of 10-12 hours.
... and capsules
Usually recommend this treatment regimen: one capsule three times a day. It is best to drink Troxevasin in between meals. The drug is absorbed within one to two hours. After two hours, the presence of a therapeutic concentration of the drug can be determined in the blood. The main metabolism of Troxevasin occurs in the liver cells. It is excreted through the gastrointestinal tract and kidneys.
The duration of treatment is usually checked with your doctor. However, according to experts, to achieve the therapeutic effect, “Troxevasin” must be taken for at least three to four weeks. Reviews of Troxevasin tablets indicate that after this course of treatment the positive effect will continue for another month.
Side effects
In most cases, the drug is very well tolerated by patients. But sometimes taking rutin capsules can be accompanied by such side effects:
- nausea, abdominal pain;
- vomiting (rarely);
- headaches;
- facial redness;
- allergic reactions in the form of a skin rash.
Usually, after termination of treatment with Troxevasin, these phenomena disappear on their own and do not require medical intervention.
When taking a very large amount of the drug, signs of an overdose may develop:
- vomiting, nausea;
- hyperemia of the face;
- headache;
- psychomotor agitation.
In case of an overdose, the gastrointestinal tract is cleansed. Symptomatic treatment prescribed in a medical facility
Since the gel is not absorbed through the skin, it cannot provoke any systemic side effects. The use of Troxevasin ointment very rarely provokes such undesirable local effects as:
- allergy in the form of urticaria;
- dermatitis;
- eczema.
Usually they quickly pass after the termination of use of "Troxevasinum".
In what cases is it better to refuse the drug
The main contraindications to taking "Troxevasin" are the following conditions:
- diseases of the stomach and intestines - stomach ulcer or duodenal ulcer, mucosal erosion in the acute stage;
- individual intolerance - components of the drug;
- pregnancy- in the first three months;
- childhood - babies and babies up to three years.
For children under the age of 15, Troxevasin can be given only on the recommendation of a doctor. Despite the safety of this medication, no clinical studies have been conducted in this area. Therefore, there is not enough information about the features of the use of "Troxevasin" in children.
Analogs
This is an affordable over-the-counter drug. In the absence of "Troxevasin" on sale, you can ask the pharmacist for its analogues:
- Troxerutin
- Venolan
- Phleboton.
Troxevasin is an effective and safe phlebotonic. Its timely appointment allows to reduce the symptoms of the disease and significantly improves the quality of life of the patient. Also, the drug is used to prevent vein diseases in individuals predisposed to this pathology.
Reviews: “Feet is getting easier”
With regular use of Troxevasin, it really becomes easier for the legs to tolerate the load. But I'm afraid that if you already have varicose veins, then Troxevasin will be weak and not effective. This remedy is more likely for prevention than for treatment itself. Of course, it will facilitate to some extent the legs with varicose veins, but you should not think that it will pass.

Of course, you can not get rid of varicose veins with the help of troxevasin, but there is relief. Detralex is very expensive and the effect is very doubtful, it seems to me that this is just extra income for doctors, and troxevasin has been tested since Soviet times and I trust him more. I feel when I start to pull my leg I buy two records and it’s enough for me for ten days, it’s no longer sensible. The gel is also good, but there you need to wash your skin at least once every two or three days, then there will be no overthrow.
