About Asklerol 3% Injection

Asklerol 3% Injection 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 contains ‘’Polidocanol.’’ Asklerol 3% Injection 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.

A qualified medical professional will administer Asklerol 3% Injection . Do not self-administer. In some cases, Asklerol 3% Injection 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 in case of a high risk of thrombosis. Avoid Asklerol 3% Injection in case you have been immobilized for a long period. Report any symptoms such as labored breathing, shortness of breath, hives, anxiety, flushing, or slurred speech to the doctor immediately, in case you notice these after injection with Asklerol 3% Injection . Inform the doctor if you are on any blood thinners, birth control pills, or heart medications.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Let your doctor know if you are planning to get pregnant or are breastfeeding.
  • Weight is a major factor in the causes of varicose veins. Maintain a healthy weight and exercise regularly. 
  • Wearing compression garments around the area of the varicose veins can also be very effective in treating the condition.
  • Surgical shoes/sandals can also ease walking with varicose vein-ridden legs. 
  • Elevating the legs while sitting can increase the blood flow and encourage drainage.
