Product Introduction
Setrol 60mg Injection is a sclerosing agent containing the active ingredient Sodium Tetradecyl Sulphate. It is used in the treatment of varicose veins and spider veins. This medication is employed in procedures known as sclerotherapy, where the compound is injected directly into the affected veins. Do not receive this injection if you are allergic to Setrol 60mg Injection or any of the other ingredients in the medicine. Patients with a history of blood clotting disorders or deep vein thrombosis should exercise caution, as this drug can potentially increase the risk of clot formation. Patients with migraines, leg vein issues associated with long-term swelling conditions (Lymphoedema), or pulmonary hypertension should inform their doctor. History of transient ischaemic attack (TIA), serious cerebral events, diagnosed arterial or venous diseases (atherosclerosis), severe inflammation and clotting in hands and feet (Buerger's disease), and controlled breathing difficulties (asthma) should also be notified to your doctor. In rare cases, this drug may worsen local pain and inflammation for days or weeks in patients with lymphoedema. Limited information is available on this drug's use during pregnancy. If you are pregnant, suspect pregnancy, or are planning for pregnancy, consult your physician before taking Setrol 60mg Injection. Physicians may prescribe this medicine only when it is needed. Insufficient evidence and data exist regarding the safety and effectiveness of this drug in children and adults.
Uses
Treatment of varicose veins and spider veins.
How it works
Setrol 60mg Injection is injected into the affected veins, causing irritation and inflammation of the vein walls. This irritation leads to the formation of a clot within the vein, which eventually results in the vein closing off. The body then naturally redirects blood flow to healthier veins.
How to Use
A doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic setting will give it to you. Setrol 60mg Injection is administered directly into the affected vein. The specific dosage and number of injections depend on the size and location of the vein being treated. Do not self-administer the injection.
Side Effects
Side effects are unwanted symptoms caused by medicines. Even though all drugs cause side effects, not everyone gets them. Serious Allergic reactions (asthma, hay fever, anaphylactic shock) Blood circulation failure (blackouts, fatigue, fainting, chest pain) Stroke Blood clot in the lungs Common Pain or burning sensation at the injection site Superficial inflammation of the vein Skin discoloration Growth of very fine spider veins Headache, nausea, vomiting
Expert Tips
If you're unable to drive after taking Setrol 60mg Injection, consider alternative transportation methods such as public transportation, rideshare services, or having someone else drive you. In some cases, the injection and subsequent treatment may cause temporary discomfort, and there could be reduced sensation in the treated area. This can affect your ability to operate machinery safely.
