Varicose veins is a common superficial pathology that leads to serious complications like ulceration and irritating symptoms such as pain, pruritus, swelling, erythema etc. resulting in morbidity in large population. Unfractionated heparin and low molecular heparin have been the corner stone of conservative management of the symptoms of varicose veins. Some European published studies indicate that liposomal heparin spray gel, a topical heparin sodium product was effective in reducing symptoms of varicose thrombophlebitis and are also reported to reduce size of thrombus in varicose veins.

Based on this information Troikaa proposes the present  study to identify effectiveness and safety of their marketed product heparin sodium topical solution (1000 IU/ ml) as add on therapy to SOC in the treatment of thrombophlebitis associated with varicose vein.
