Medicine Description escino-gel 1%
Escino-gel 1% Gel is a medication that combines aescin and bamethan to exert its therapeutic effects. Aescin is a natural extract derived from horse chestnut seeds, known for its ability to strengthen blood vessel walls and reduce vascular permeability. This action decreases the leakage of fluid into surrounding tissues, effectively minimizing swelling and edema. Bamethan complements this effect by enhancing local blood circulation and promoting the reabsorption of excess fluids, which aids in alleviating inflammation. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to provide relief from discomfort associated with conditions such as varicose veins and post-traumatic swelling.
