“Variko stop’ cream can cure varicose veins”
What FACTLY found
‘Variko stop’ is not approved by FDA, CDSCO, or the AYUSH Ministry. Further, there is no research to support the effectiveness of the ‘Variko stop’ cream in curing varicose veins. Recommended treatments for varicose veins are elevating the legs when sitting or lying down, wearing elastic stockings, and procedures like Sclerotherapy, Laser treatment, High Legation, Vein stripping, Catheter-based procedures using radiofrequency or laser energy, ambulatory phlebectomy, etc.
