Reviews

We offer to read reviews of people who used Troxerutin:

Natalia. Gel "Troxerutin" is my salvation. Especially now, in bad weather, when you twist your legs at night, especially in bad weather. After surgeries about varicose veins, I stopped on this drug. Efficiency - on a par with "Troxevasin" and "Lyoton." And the price is much lower. Yes, it still works very well for swelling of the legs and arms of various types. The main thing to remember - do not rub, but apply, lightly spreading, until absorbed. And your hands-feet will be grateful to you. I recommend to all! The only thing is, the tube is usually incomplete... although the packaging is factory-made.
Sasha. My mom bought capsules and troxerutin gel, because she had varicose veins. I force her to undergo a course of treatment to maintain a less normal condition of the veins and not start a sore. Her legs do not hurt, but all are strewn with a small mesh of vessels. I do not want to have strong thrombosis afterwards and nothing helped at all. So periodically she drank capsules and smears feet with gel troxerutin
Vera. I have been using troxerutin for two years - before and after pregnancy. Varicose veins after delivery. To be honest, I do not have a special result from the gel. Just before pregnancy used, as a cheap option of prevention, and after a budgetary habit. The veins do not ache and do not increase, maybe he somehow acts internally, but the appearance of the legs has not changed. I'm waiting for the end of lactation, I'll try to combine with the internal use of "Troxerutin" tablets. I know that complex treatment is much more productive. Troxerutin gel is not good at an expensive price, the tube lasts for two weeks.
