Venescin contains a dense extract of horse chestnut seeds ( Hippocastani seminis extractum spissum ) and troxerutin. It is assumed that the product containing a combination of aescin (the main component of horse chestnut seed extract) and troxerutin affects the veins, among others by reducing their permeability and affects venous tone. The gel has an anti-edematous effect.
Venescin gel is used for initial symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency (pain, feeling of heaviness and swelling in the legs, calf cramps) and for symptoms occurring after injuries (edema, hematomas).
