What is in the sclerotherapy solution?
Sclerotherapy solution typically contains a sclerosing agent, such as saline, sodium tetradecyl sulfate, or polidocanol. These agents work by irritating the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body. The solution may also include a local anesthetic to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
What are the ingredients in sclerosant?
Sodium tetradecyl sulfate is the only FDA approved sclerosant. Sometimes hypertonic saline may be used however hypertonic saline is not FDA approved for sclerotherapy.
Sodium tetradecyl sulfate can it be bought without prescription?
My first reaction was "Of course it can; it's in shampoo." (Actually, sodium dodecyl sulfate is more prevalent, since lauric acid is much more common than myristic acid.) It turns out that it actually is used as a prescription drug for the treatment of varicose veins. It's probably a bad idea to try to get by on the cheap by shooting up with shampoo, though.
