4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 Therapeutic indications
Fibrovein
3%
and
1%:
For
the
treatment
of
varicose
veins
of
the
leg
by
injection
sclerotherapy.
Fibrovein 0.5%: For the treatment of varicose veins and venous flares
of the leg by injection
sclerotherapy.
Fibrovein 0.2%: For the treatment of minor venules and spider veins
(venous flares) by
injection sclerotherapy.
4.2 Dose and method of administration
Fibrovein is for intravenous use only. The strength of solution
required depends on the size
and degree of varicosity. Spider veins should only be treated with the
0.2%, reticular veins
with 0.5%, the 1% solution will be found most useful for small to
medium varicosities and the
3% solution for larger varicosities. The size of non- visible varicose
veins should be
measured under ultrasound.
The sclerosant should be administered intravenously in small aliquots
at multiple sites along
the vein to be treated either as a liquid or as a sclerosant/air
mixture (foam), for the
treatment of larger veins with the 1% and 3% solutions. The objective
is to achieve optimal
destruction of the vessel wall with the minimum concentration of
sclerosant necessary for a
clinical result. If the concentration is too high necrosis or other
adverse sequelae may occur.
