Asklerol 3% Injection

Product Overview

Asklerol 3% Injection is a medication containing the active ingredient Polidocanol. It is available in ampoule form and is commonly used for the treatment of varicose veins and spider veins. Polidocanol, a sclerosing agent, works by causing damage to the inner lining of the blood vessels, leading to their closure and eventual disappearance. Asklerol 3% Injection is administered by a qualified healthcare professional and is an effective and minimally invasive treatment option for individuals with superficial venous insufficiency.

Uses

Asklerol 3% Injection is primarily used for the treatment of varicose veins and spider veins, which are common manifestations of superficial venous insufficiency. Superficial venous insufficiency occurs when the valves within the veins fail to function properly, causing blood to pool and veins to become enlarged and twisted. By inducing sclerosis (hardening) of the affected veins, Asklerol 3% Injection helps to improve blood flow and alleviate symptoms associated with varicose veins, such as pain, swelling, and discomfort.

How to Use

Asklerol 3% Injection is administered by a healthcare professional through a process known as sclerotherapy. During sclerotherapy, the medication is injected directly into the affected veins using a fine needle. Prior to the procedure, the injection site is cleaned and disinfected, and a tourniquet may be applied to enhance vein visualization. The injection is delivered slowly and with precision, ensuring that the medication is evenly distributed within the targeted veins. Following the injection, pressure may be applied to the injection site to minimize bruising and promote optimal outcomes.

How it Works

Asklerol 3% Injection contains Polidocanol, a synthetic detergent-like substance that acts as a sclerosing agent. When injected into varicose or spider veins, Polidocanol induces endothelial damage, leading to inflammation and subsequent fibrosis (scar tissue formation) within the treated blood vessels. This process causes the affected veins to collapse and adhere to one another, ultimately resulting in their closure and disappearance. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the sclerosed veins, leading to improved blood flow and aesthetic enhancement of the treated area.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage and administration of Asklerol 3% Injection depend on the size, location, and severity of the varicose or spider veins being treated. Typically, the injection is administered using a small gauge needle directly into the target veins under ultrasound guidance. The number of injections required may vary based on the extent of the venous insufficiency and the individual patient’s response to treatment. Following the procedure, patients may be advised to wear compression stockings and avoid prolonged standing or strenuous activities to optimize treatment outcomes.

Benefits

The key benefits of Asklerol 3% Injection include its efficacy in treating varicose veins and spider veins, improving blood circulation, and relieving associated symptoms such as pain, swelling, and discomfort. Sclerotherapy with Asklerol 3% Injection offers a minimally invasive alternative to surgical interventions for individuals seeking cosmetic enhancement or symptomatic relief from superficial venous insufficiency.

Common Side Effects

Common side effects associated with Asklerol 3% Injection may include temporary discomfort, bruising, itching, or skin discoloration at the injection site. These side effects are usually mild and transient, resolving spontaneously within a few days to weeks. In rare cases, allergic reactions or hypersensitivity reactions may occur, necessitating prompt medical attention. Patients should be informed about the potential side effects of Asklerol 3% Injection prior to undergoing sclerotherapy.

Warnings

Before undergoing treatment with Asklerol 3% Injection, patients should inform their healthcare provider about any known allergies, medical conditions, or medications they are taking. Asklerol 3% Injection should not be used in individuals with a history of hypersensitivity to Polidocanol or any other components of the injection. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before undergoing sclerotherapy. It is important to follow the healthcare provider’s recommendations and instructions for the safe and effective use of Asklerol 3% Injection.
