What can troxerutin do?

Troxerutin helps treat venous disorders such as varicose veins in a number of different ways. It helps to stabilize cell walls, making them less permeable, so that fluids are passed between cells and blood cells at normal levels. The medication also affects the quality of the capillaries that supply oxygen to these cells by making them stronger and less brittle. The walls of the veins in the affected area also become more stable, so that platelets do not stick to them and fluids are able to pass freely through them. This prevents blood from pooling in the veins, which is the main cause and symptom of the varicose vein disorder.

What else can troxerutin treat?

Though it is most commonly used to treat varicose veins, troxerutin can also be used to treat other disorders, such as hemorrhoids, that involve the pooling of blood in the veins. Venous insufficiency, which is a similar condition to varicose veins, can also be treated with troxerutin, though topical treatment may not be possible because the condition affects the veins on the interior of the legs and not on the surface. Double blind studies comparing this medication to placebo have shown it to be an effective treatment for this condition.
