1. What Troxevasin Duo gel is and what it is used for
Troxevasin Duo is a combined medicinal product containing indomethacin and troxerutin. Indomethacin has pronounced anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic and anti-edematous properties. Troxerutin reduces the increased permeability of capillaries and strengthens the venous walls. After rubbing, the gel penetrates easily into the skin and subcutaneous tissues, reducing inflammation and pain.
Troxevasin Duo gel is used for symptomatic treatment of:
• manifestations of chronic venous insufficiency (varicose veins) - edema, pain and heaviness in the legs;
• superficial thrombophlebitis, phlebitis; post-phlebitic conditions;
• in the complex treatment of hemorrhoidal disease;
