Varicose veins – a chronic disease, the main signs are the stretching of the tissues of the vascular wall with the formation of venous nodes. In doing so, it has found a violation of the blood flow and stagnation in the vascular system.
The medical treatment of the disease is an important element in the treatment of varicose veins. In practice, only 9-10% of the patients suffering from this disease, there takes place the rapid response. Most of the case histories confirm the effectiveness of the treatment of varicose veins, it is with the help of medication.
The overall strategy of treatment
The treatment of varicose veins of medications should begin as soon as possible. In this case, it stops and does not allow him to progress. The tools usually are updated on a continuous exchange, sometimes up to 6 months as both self-therapy and preventive measures, as well as in the form of a component on the phases before and after the surgery.
The treatment of varicose veins of the drug is possible in the event of counter-indication to the surgical intervention.

- sanguinem scens of the tool (anticoagulants) and medicines depressants agglutination platelet activity (antiplatelet drugs);
- anti-inflammatory drugs.
One of the tasks of treatment of varicose veins drugs – strengthening the tone of the vessel walls and the stabilization of the flow of venous blood. This problem is solved effective phlebotrophic venotonic drugs that are needed to enter into the scheme of treatment and prevention.

The formation of blood clots, their distance from the vascular wall and the movement of venous bed of the river leads to a overlap of vessels of the heart, lungs, and brain of man. The result of this very high probability of heart attack, pulmonary embolism and ischemic stroke.
Antiaggregants are not a cure for varicose veins, and apply both a tool for the prevention of its serious complications – thrombosis and thrombophlebitis. We can say that these drugs save the lives of a patient and at a minimum to reduce the risk of disability.
