Venosin retard 50 mg - capsules

Venosin retard counteracts oedema (fluid accumulation in the body tissue) with the natural active ingredient of horse chestnut seed extract.

Application

WHAT IS VENOSIN RETARD AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR?

Venosin retard counteracts oedema (fluid accumulation in the body tissues) with the natural active substance of horse chestnut seed extract. Aescin, the active ingredient in horse chestnut seed extract, tightens the cross-section of the veins, reduces vascular permeability and promotes venous blood outflow and blood circulation into the smallest vessels.
Venosin retard, when taken regularly, inhibits the transfer of blood components from the vessels into the tissue, thus inhibiting the formation of oedema or preventing it.
Venosin retard is used for functional disorders in or as a result of diseases of the leg veins (symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency), e.g.
varicose veins
phlebitis and thrombophlebitis
with symptoms such as
pain in the legs
heaviness
itching
night cramps in the calves leg swelling
feeling of tightness
leg fatigue
accumulation of fluid in the tissues (oedema)

if you do not feel better or even worse, contact your doctor.
