Setrol Injection 2 ml belongs to the group of medicines called sclerosants or sclerosing agents primarily used in treating varicose veins, large, medium or minor venules and spider veins. Varicose veins are swollen veins that generally appear in the legs and feet. They can be blue or dark purple in colour and have a lumpy, bulging, or twisted appearance.
The active component in Setrol Injection 2 ml is sodium tetradecyl sulphate. It works by scarring the vein, prompting blood to reroute through healthier veins. The collapsed vein is reabsorbed into the surrounding tissue and finally fades away.
Setrol Injection 2 ml will be administered by a healthcare professional. In some instances, Setrol Injection 2 ml may cause injection site reactions such as pain, burning sensation, or skin discolouration. Most of these side effects do not necessitate medical treatment and will gradually fade over time. However, if you experience these side effects on a regular basis, you should consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to any of the components in Setrol Injection 2 ml, do not take it. If you are pregnant or nursing, or if you have a heart, kidney, or liver disease, please notify your doctor before beginning Setrol Injection 2 ml; your doctor will prescribe only if the benefits outweigh the risks. Setrol Injection 2 ml should not be given to children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Keep your doctor up to date on your medical condition and medications to rule out any potential adverse effects or interactions.
