Asklerol Injection is a prescription medicine used to treat varicose veins by sealing off damaged blood vessels. It irritates the vein walls, causing them to collapse and block blood flow. Over time, the body replaces the closed vein with natural tissue, improving symptoms and appearance.

Asklerol Injection is given by your doctor or nurse. The dose you are given will depend on your condition and how you respond to the medicine. You should keep taking this medicine for as long as your doctor recommends. If you stop treatment too early, your symptoms may come back, and your condition may worsen.

The most common side effects are injection site swelling or pain. These are temporary and usually resolve with time. Contact your doctor straight away if you are at all concerned about any of these side effects.

Before taking it, you should tell your doctor if you have any kidney or liver diseases so that your doctor can prescribe a suitable dose for you. Let your doctor know about all other medications you are taking, as some may affect, or be affected by, this medicine.

Please consult a General Surgeon for Varicose veins

I have been suffering from varicose veins since last 20 years. I am using stockings, ointment massage treatment for pain relief. Also putting pillow below my feet, while I sleep. But not getting permanent relief from the disease. I suffer from severe pains, if I walk for 10 to 15 minutes. One of local doctor has advised me to do laser operation for permanent relief. Some doctors opine that laser treatment is also not a permanent relief. After some period, the trouble restarts again. Kindly advise over the permanent relief on varicose veins.
