Product Name:
Polidocanol
CAS Number:
3055-99-0
Indication:
Polidocanol is a sclerosing agent indicated to treat uncomplicated spider veins and uncomplicated reticular veins in the lower extremity.
Mode of Action:

When administered, polidocanol locally damages blood vessel endothelium. Following the endothelial damage, platelets aggregate at the site and attach to the venous wall eventually resulting in a dense network of platelets, cellular debris, and fibrin that occludes the vessel. Eventually the vessel is replaced by connective fibrous tissue.

Pharmacodynamics:

Polidocanol has a concentration and volume dependent damaging effect on the blood vessel endothelium.

Metabolism:

Metabolism was not measured.

Toxicity:

Most adverse reactions are related to the intravenous administration such as local irritation, pain, and hematoma. Extravasation can also be an issue.
