Composition:
3 ml of solution for injection containing 150mg Troxerutin and 1.5mg Carbazochrome. Properties: Troxerutin ( 3-hydroxyethyl –rutoside), also known as vitamin P4, is a bioflavonoid that acts by increasing vasal resistance (capillary protective action) and diminishing permeability , thus preventing the excessive leakage of the liquid component of blood to tissues (anti- permeabilising and anti- edemigenic action) . Carbazochrome (adenochromosemicarbazone), an orthoquinone derived from adrenalin through oxidation and lateral chain cycling, is totally devoid of sympathomimetic action, owing to the absence of the secondary amine function and the ortho-diphenolic grouping, and it shortens the haemorrhage time through a local vasoconstrictive action on small vessels in the bleeding area.
Therapeutic Indications:
Symptomatic venous insufficiency; states of capillary fragility in post – hemorrhoidectomy patients.
Posology and method of administration:
1-3 ampoules a day by intramuscular injection. The content of the ampoules must not be mixed with solutions containing ascorbic acid.
