pharmachologic effect

Venitan Forte is a combined preparation for external use. It contains a venotonic agent and a direct anticoagulant.

Escin contained in horse chestnut seeds (Aesculus hippocastanum L., semen), is a mixture of triterpene saponins. Escin has an anti-inflammatory effect mainly in the initial phase of the inflammatory reaction, compacting the walls of capillaries and thus reducing their permeability, which is increased during inflammation. Estsin also has a positive effect in case of fragility of the capillary walls and increases the tone of the venous walls when it is weakened. All this leads to a decrease in stagnation in the venous bed and the accumulation of fluid in the tissues, preventing the appearance of edema.

Heparin interferes with blood coagulation, which reduces blood clots in the vessels, and also has an anti-inflammatory effect.

Dexpanthenol and Allantoin improve the absorption of active substances through the skin and, thus, enhance their therapeutic effect.

Indications and usage

Peripheral circulation disorders, varicose veins, venous insufficiency, feeling of heaviness in the legs during pregnancy or prolonged standing, to relieve soft tissue swelling and accelerate the resorption of post-traumatic hematomas or injections.

Contraindications

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

There are no restrictions on the use of indications during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Due to the low degree of absorption of the active substances that make up the gel, they do not have a systemic effect. The need for the appointment of the drug during pregnancy and lactation (breastfeeding), the doctor determines individually.
