Popular types of varicose veins products
Capsules: This category currently includes Paroven 120 Capsules, which are indicated for ankle swelling (oedema) due to chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and can also be used for symptoms such as tired, heavy legs. Always read the label and patient information before use.
Compression hosiery and clinician-led options: Some people also consider compression stockings as a non-drug approach, and a clinician may discuss other options depending on symptoms and medical history. If you’re unsure what’s suitable, ask a pharmacist or contact your GP for advice.
How to choose the right option
Start with your main symptoms (for example aching, heaviness, swelling, itching or night cramps) and how long they’ve been present. Check suitability information for age, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and long-term conditions. Follow directions carefully and avoid doubling up on similar products. If symptoms are persistent, worsening, one-sided, or affecting daily life, seek advice from a pharmacist or contact your GP for assessment.
