Venoruton® Gel, 40 G

The active ingredient oxerutin contained in Venoruton Gel reduces the abnormally increased permeability of the small blood vessels in venous disorders and at the same time improves the flow properties of the blood.

As an alcohol-free gel, Venoruton gel does not sting the skin; it is skin-friendly, odourless, non-greasy and has a pain-relieving cooling effect.
