About Asklerol 3% Injection 2 x 2 ml

Asklerol 3% Injection 2 x 2 ml belongs to the group of sclerosing agents mainly used in the treatment of varicose veins. Varicose veins are engorged, pigmented, and tortuous veins (seen in the legs), that occur when misdirection of blood flow causes blood to pool, giving legs an unsightly appearance. Common symptoms include redness, pain, itching, heaviness, and the feeling of being weighed down. 

Asklerol 3% Injection 2 x 2 ml contains ‘’Polidocanol.’’ Asklerol 3% Injection 2 x 2 ml works by damaging the inner lining of the engorged blood vessels, helping them narrow and close off and ultimately pave the way for fresh, new tissue and endothelium.

In some cases, Asklerol 3% Injection 2 x 2 ml may cause certain common side effects such as pain, swelling, redness at the injection site, and skin pigmentation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if these side effects persist. 

Before taking this medicine, inform the doctor if you have any known pre-existing cardiovascular disease, congenital heart conditions or shunts, embolic disease, venous thromboembolism, renal impairment, or irregular menstrual bleeding. Exercise caution in case of systemic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, epilepsy, thyroid problems, asthma, TB, or any respiratory diseases. Avoid Asklerol 3% Injection 2 x 2 ml in case of a high risk of thrombosis. Avoid Asklerol 3% Injection 2 x 2 ml in case you have been immobilized for a long period.
