1. What is Venoruton Forte and what is it used for

Venoruton Forte contains o-(beta-hydroxyethyl)-rutosides, which belong to a group of medicines that protect the veins (systemic venous protectors).
Venoruton Forte stabilizes the venous wall, leading to a reduction in vessel permeability and consequently a reduction in swelling.
In patients with varicose veins and other diseases of the lower limb vessels, the capillaries are characterized by excessive exudation, which causes leg swelling.
Venoruton Forte reduces the permeability of the smallest blood vessels (capillaries) by reducing the permeability of the capillary wall to fluids and morphotic blood elements.
It is used in the symptomatic treatment of chronic venous insufficiency (varicose veins of the lower limbs).
The medicine reduces swelling and alleviates subjective symptoms such as:
disorders of sensation (burning and tingling), pain and muscle cramps, feeling of heavy, swollen, and painful legs.
The medicine is also used in the symptomatic treatment of hemorrhoids and may be used as an adjunct in microangiopathies in diabetes .
