Troxevasin Gel 2% – Treatment of varicose spider veins thrombophlebitis

Troxevasin  Introduction:

Troxevasin gel contains troxerutin as its active ingredient, a bioflavonoid that strengthens the walls of blood vessels, particularly capillaries. It is specifically formulated to provide relief from symptoms associated with chronic venous insufficiency, such as swelling, pain, and discomfort. Additionally, Troxevasin gel can effectively reduce pain and swelling caused by traumatic injuries, such as sprains or muscle strains.

Troxevasin  Usage and Precautions:
