It is unambiguous to say that one drug is good and the other is worse - it is impossible. And for what reason: the funds are absolute analogues, since they contain the same active substance - troxerutin. They are both used in severe degrees of venous insufficiency, have angioprotective( contribute to the restoration of vascular walls) and anti-inflammatory properties, relieve swelling, itching, pain, prevent the formation of blood clots.
Both products are produced in different forms - in the form of a gel with a 2% concentration of active ingredient and in the form of capsules, so that they can be used both externally and inward.
An insignificant difference that does not affect the medicinal properties and effectiveness of the preparations is different companies-producers and the stably higher price for Troxevasin. Tube gel Troksevazin weighing 40 g, will cost in the amount of 215 to 297 rubles, the cost of Troxerutin - from 33 to 40 rubles for the same amount. On this, all the differences are exhausted.
It is extremely difficult to independently determine the degree of varicose veins, therefore it is possible to apply angioprotectors for treatment only after consulting with a phlebologist.
