Venoruton® 500 mg tablets for venous insufficiency

• strengthen and firm the walls of blood vessels

Venoruton® offers effective support in the treatment of leg vein disorders.

How Venoruton® works for venous disorders

The vein tablets regulate the permeability of weakened vein walls. This reduces the amount of fluid that can leak from the fine blood vessels into the surrounding tissue. Oedema and swelling are reduced. Microcirculation is also promoted.

In this way, Venoruton® tablets can relieve unpleasant symptoms such as heavy and tired legs, feelings of tension and tingling, and support the treatment of venous disorders and chronic venous insufficiency.

Venoruton® 500 mg tablets for haemorrhoids

Venoruton® can help with haemorrhoids by:

• reducing swelling in the anal area

• relieving typical symptoms such as pain, itching, bleeding and discharge

• strengthening and stabilising the walls of the veins

• reducing the increased permeability of the blood vessels

• promoting microcirculation

• reducing oedema and inflammatory complaints

How Venoruton® works for haemorrhoids

The oxerutin contained in Venoruton® improves the stability of blood vessels, supports microcirculation and can therefore reduce swelling.

Venoruton® can relieve typical haemorrhoid symptoms such as itching, burning and pain. Its effect on the venous vessels can also reduce swelling in the haemorrhoidal area.

Venoruton® during pregnancy

Venoruton® is available without a prescription and can be used during pregnancy from the 2nd trimester or from the 4th month of pregnancy.

During pregnancy, the strain and demands on the venous system increase. Changes in hormone balance, an increase in blood volume and weight gain can promote vein problems, including haemorrhoids.

Before use during pregnancy, the package leaflet should be observed and, if necessary, medical or pharmaceutical advice sought.

Application and dosage

Venoruton® 500 mg tablets should be taken whole with sufficient liquid during a meal.

The recommended dosage is:

• 500 mg twice daily, morning and evening

Alternatively, a single dose of 1,000 mg per day can be taken in the morning or evening.

The exact dosage and duration of use depend on the package leaflet or the recommendations of a doctor or pharmacist.

Interesting facts about veins

Various triggers for venous weakness

The causes of venous insufficiency can be diverse. Long periods of sitting, lack of exercise and long periods of standing are among the common factors for typical symptoms.

Age, obesity or a genetic predisposition can also play a role. Hormonal changes, such as those that occur during pregnancy, can put additional strain on the leg veins.

Increased venous pressure – how it arises

Over 60 percent of the blood volume is located in the veins. These blood vessels transport blood from the body back to the heart.

In chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), blood does not flow properly back to the heart due to weakened or inadequately closing venous valves. This can lead to blood pooling in the extremities.

The increased pressure in the venous system can promote inflammatory processes and fluid accumulation in the tissue. This can lead to swelling and heavy and tired legs. The development of varicose veins can also be promoted.

Tips for support with venous insufficiency

• Avoid long periods of sitting and standing

• Wear loose clothing and comfortable, flat shoes

• Avoid alcohol and tobacco if possible

• Avoid long hot baths and extended sunbathing

• Cool your legs regularly on hot days

• Eat a balanced diet

• Exercise regularly

• Compression stockings can support the treatment of venous problems

Venoruton® cream can be used as a complementary external treatment.
