Polynol Injection 1's

Polynol Injection 1's 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. 

Polynol Injection 1's contains ‘’Polidocanol.’’ Polynol Injection 1's 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 Polynol Injection 1's. Do not self-administer. In some cases, Polynol Injection 1's 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 Polynol Injection 1's in case of a high risk of thrombosis. Avoid Polynol Injection 1's 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 Polynol Injection 1's. Inform the doctor if you are on any blood thinners, birth control pills, or heart medications. Please consult your doctor before taking Polynol Injection 1's during pregnancy or if you are breastfeeding. Do not take Polynol Injection 1's with alcohol.

Polynol Injection 1's is a sclerosing agent. It contains ‘’Polidocanol.’’ Sclerotherapy is the injecting of a sclerosing agent such as foam, into a vein, to chip away (sclerose) the inner lining of the engorged blood vessel. It is used to treat varicose veins. Polynol Injection 1's may also find application in dentistry.

• 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. 
• Limit your intake of salt, as it can cause water retention and lead to edema.
• Avoid wearing high heels as this can put a lot of pressure on the already constricted veins. 

Please inform the doctor immediately if you notice any anaphylaxis (allergy, skin changes, difficulty in breathing, anxiety, confusion, dizziness, etc), or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Varicose Veins: Varicose veins are constricted, twisted and enlarged veins in the lower limbs that occur due to malfunction of valves that causes blood to pool in the veins leading to heaviness, itching, swelling and pain. For most people, the cause is generally harmless. It is a superficial condition, more or less. Rarely, they may be symptomatic of an underlying circulatory problem.
