They are unpleasant for every woman: swollen veins that lead to varicose veins. Although they can form in principle in any vein in the body, 90 percent of them occur on the legs.

It is no consolation that these venous diseases are among the most common illnesses in Germany. Women are affected two to four times more often than men. However, only around twelve percent of those affected show such pronounced varicose veins that they require medical treatment.

In the majority of cases, sufficient exercise, avoiding extreme heat such as saunas or sunbathing, and alternating showers to stimulate circulation are effective measures for preventing and limiting symptoms. The tried and tested rule “It is better to lie or walk than to sit or stand” also helps to reduce the risk of venous diseases. Hirudoid® forte supports the healing of superficial venous diseases.

Active ingredient: chondroitin polysulfate from bovine trachea.
Areas of application: For the local treatment of blunt injuries (trauma) with and without bruising (hematoma), superficial phlebitis, provided that this cannot be treated with external pressure (compression).
