Venitan, gel 1% 50 g

Venitan is a venotonizing agent of plant origin. Aescin is contained in the seeds of horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum L, semen).

It is a mixture of triterpene saponins. Its main anti-inflammatory action is during the initial phase of the inflammatory reaction, when it makes the capillary walls “thick”, thus reducing their permeability, which is increased with inflammation.

Escin also has a positive effect on capillary wall fragility and increases venous wall tone when it is weakened. All this leads to a reduction of stagnation in the venous system and the accumulation of fluid in the tissues, preventing the appearance of edema.
