Which veins can Varithena treat?

A quote for Varithena only makes sense if the veins you want treated are on the list of veins it is used for.

The veins on the list

The great saphenous vein system, above and below the knee. PDR's drug summary for Varithena lists its use as the treatment of incompetent great saphenous veins, accessory saphenous veins and visible varicosities of the great saphenous vein (GSV) system above and below the knee.

Reading the wording

The phrasing is technical, so here is what it names. It names the great saphenous vein, the accessory saphenous veins and visible varicose branches of the great saphenous system.

The excerpt mentions no other veins, so this page makes no statement about them. If your concern is somewhere else in the leg, the list above neither includes it nor rules it out.

The question that makes a quote firm

Ask which specific vein the quote covers and whether it sits on that list. A Des Plaines clinic can then tell you whether the figure is for Varithena or for another approach.

Two pages help you place the anatomy: a patient page on sclerotherapy and a description of the saphenous vein's location and function.

What a drug summary cannot tell you

A summary of listed uses cannot tell you whether your veins are suitable, and it carries no price. Use it to ask a sharper question at the consultation.
