Very effective drug, treats even chronic and chronic hemorrhoids. In my practice, patients rarely showed any side effects. If you follow the recommendations of doctors, then there will be no problems.

Very good at removing symptoms that occur with varicose veins of lower extremities. If the course of treatment is not lengthy, then there will be no side effects.
With full course treatment, the probability of further manifestation of venous insufficiency is minimal.

Practice of patients
I have been suffering from varicose veins for 20 years, both my shins are covered with vascular asterisks, and veins very often swell. Initially, I was just recommended to give up heels and just wear golf shoes.
I began to find out myself what I could do, and I learned about the Troxsevenol gel. I used the drug three times a day. The result surprised me pleasantly. Of course, I was not able to completely cure varicose veins, but my swelling disappeared and the blood vessels no longer tore.
