Venotonics are a group of medications designed to improve the tone of the venous wall and improve venous circulation. These products are used for the treatment and prevention of varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency, hemorrhoids and other diseases associated with impaired venous outflow. Venotonics help to reduce congestion in veins, reduce capillary permeability and fragility, and have an anti-inflammatory effect.
Preparations of this group can contain both synthetic and herbal components. Herbal venotonics include products based on horse chestnut, ginkgo biloba, and grapevine. They are available in various dosage forms: tablets, capsules, gels, creams. Before using venotonics, it is necessary to consult a doctor, as they can have contraindications and side effects, especially when combined with other drugs.
