What is Venoruton Gel used for?
Venoruton Gel is indicated for pain and oedema associated with chronic venous insufficiency: heavy and painful legs, ankle oedema, pain after sclerotherapy; traumatic pain and oedema (in sprains, strains, muscle contusions).
When applied topically, major componenets of the active ingredient rapidly cross the epidermal barrier. They are detected in the dermis after 30 minutes and in the subcutaneous fatty tissues after 2-5 hours. Available methods are not sensitive enough to measure blood levels of the major components of the active ingredient after topical application.

Hypersensitivity to its active ingredient (hydroyethyl)-rutosides, or to other rutosides.
First trimester of pregnancy.
What precautions are required when using Venoruton Gel?
