Fibro-Vein
What it is used for
INDICATIONS AS AT 09 JUNE 2005 : The solution is designed for injection directly into the lumen of the varicose vein and is used as a sclerosant in the treatment of uncomplicated varicose veins of the leg by compression sclerotherapy. The strength of FIBROVEIN selected depends on the size of the veins to be treated. FIBROVEIN 3% is for the treatment of large superficial varicose veins. FIBROVEIN 1% is for the treatment of small varicose veins and the larger venules. Minor venules and spider veins (venous flares) should be treated with FIBROVEIN 0.5% or 0.2%. The selection of the incorrect strength particularly in the case of minor venules and spider veins is liable to give rise to adverse reactions.
