Polynol Injection belongs to the group of sclerosing agents mainly used in the treatment of varicose veins. Varicose veins are engorged, pigmented, and tortuous veins (seen in the legs), that occur when misdirection of blood flow causes blood to pool, giving legs an unsightly appearance. Common symptoms include redness, pain, itching, heaviness, and the feeling of being weighed down. 

Polynol Injection contains ‘’Polidocanol.’’ Polynol Injection works by damaging the inner lining of the engorged blood vessels, helping them narrow and close off and ultimately pave the way for fresh, new tissue and endothelium.

A qualified medical professional will administer Polynol Injection. Do not self-administer. In some cases, Polynol Injection may cause certain common side effects such as pain, swelling, redness at the injection site, and skin pigmentation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if these side effects persist.

Polynol Injection is a sclerosing agent. It contains ‘’Polidocanol.’’ Sclerotherapy is the injecting of a sclerosing agent such as foam, into a vein, to chip away (sclerose) the inner lining of the engorged blood vessel. It is used to treat varicose veins. Polynol Injection may also find application in dentistry.
