[Dosage of O-beta hydroxyethylrutoside in chronic venous insufficiency].

45 patients suffering from varicose veins with or without a chronic insufficiency up to stage II, took 1, 2 or 3 g of Oc-beta hydroxyerhylrutoside P.O. Photo reflexometry and plethysmography with mercury gauge demonstrated the results. The various parameters showed the medication to be effective after 10 and 21 days of treatment. A dosage adjusted to the gravity of the venous involvement improves the venous pump of the leg and therefore the venous return.
