1.  WHAT AETHOXYSKLEROL 3% IS AND WHAT IT
IS USED FOR
Different concentrations of Aethoxysklerol are required,
depending on the size of the varicose veins to be
obliterated (sclerosed).
Aethoxysklerol 3% is used as a liquid for
– sclerotherapy of medium-sized to large varicose veins
(varices)
– sclerotherapy of haemorrhoidal disease (1st and 2nd
degree)
and as a foam for sclerotherapy of large varicose veins
(varices).
When several concentrations are listed as treatment, the
vein diameter and the patient’s individual situation
should be considered. In case of doubt, the lower
concentration should be chosen.
