Pharmachologic effect
Venitane forte is a combined preparation for external use, contains a venotonic agent and a direct anticoagulant.
Eszin is contained in the seeds of horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum L., semen), is a mixture of triterpene saponins. Eszin has an anti-inflammatory effect mainly in the initial phase of the inflammatory reaction, sealing the walls of the capillaries and thus reducing their permeability, increased with inflammation. Eszin also has a positive effect on the fragility of the walls of the capillaries and increases the tone of the venous walls when it is weakened. All this leads to a reduction in stagnation in the venous bed and accumulation of fluid in the tissues, preventing the appearance of edema.
Heparin prevents blood clotting, which reduces thrombosis in the vessels, and also has an anti-inflammatory effect.
Dexpanthenol and allantoin improve the absorption of active substances through the skin and, thus, enhance their therapeutic effect.
