Medical treatment

Medications (tablets or pills) strengthen the wall of the superficial veins and allow a better venous contraction, thus improving the upward movement of the blood in the legs. This helps reduce the venous blood pooling in the lower extremities. The result will be in an improvement of the pain, lesser burning sensation in the legs, a relief from the disturbing heavy legs feeling and a reduction of the swelling. Topical Venotonic agents (creams and ointments) are also used for the legs. They provide a rapid cooling effect and can accelerate the relief of the symptoms when combined to the medications.
