Reviews
In my family, many women have suffered from varicose veins. We can assume that the disease was inherited. About a year ago a small capillary grid appeared on my legs. The doctor prescribed me Troxevasin ointment, but I was embarrassed by its cost. About his analogue - Trokserutina, I learned from a friend. He has the same composition, but is much cheaper. After a few months of use, blood circulation in the vessels was restored, edema slept.
