PROANTHOCYANIDIN+TRANEXAMIC ACID+POLYPODIUM LEUCOTOMOS

About

PROANTHOCYANIDIN+TRANEXAMIC ACID+POLYPODIUM LEUCOTOMOS belongs to the group of haemostatic agents 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.

PROANTHOCYANIDIN+TRANEXAMIC ACID+POLYPODIUM LEUCOTOMOS is composed of 'Proanthocyanidin, Polypodium leucotomos extract and Tranexamic acid'. They function as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and vasodilating substances that help treat varicose veins by relieving the inflamed blood vessels, promoting the detoxification and anti-oxidation of blood and easing its flow. This helps in alleviating the symptoms of constricted varicose veins such as pain, itching, heaviness and swelling.

PROANTHOCYANIDIN+TRANEXAMIC ACID+POLYPODIUM LEUCOTOMOS should be swallowed as a whole with water. Do not crush, chew or break the tablet. PROANTHOCYANIDIN+TRANEXAMIC ACID+POLYPODIUM LEUCOTOMOS can be taken with or without food but it is better to take it with food. In some cases, PROANTHOCYANIDIN+TRANEXAMIC ACID+POLYPODIUM LEUCOTOMOS may cause certain common side effects such as diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and light-headedness.

Treatment of Varicose Veins

Medicinal Benefits

PROANTHOCYANIDIN+TRANEXAMIC ACID+POLYPODIUM LEUCOTOMOS is a haemostatic agent. It contains ''Proanthocyanidin, Polypodium Leucotomos extract and Tranexamic acid''. It is used to relieve the symptoms of constricted varicose veins by promoting dilation or widening of blood vessels and easing the flow of blood in the right direction. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties of plant-derived leucotomos and polypodium also help ease the major symptoms of varicose veins such as itchiness, swelling, heaviness, redness and pigmentation. Tranexamic acid is an antifibrinolytic agent, which blocks the binding of plasminogen and plasmin to fibrin. Fibrin is a substance in the body that forms clots and helps plug wounds during bleeding. This action prevents the dissolution of tight fibrin clots into fluid blood components.
