Can varicose veins go away with medications?

I have varicose veins in my legs. Can varicose veins go away with medications?

1 Answer

No. Medications are often used to treat swelling that might be a result of poor veins and enlarged veins but they do nothing to fix the actual problem. The safest and least harmful option is compression socks or tights. They do not fix the veins but they control the issue without side effects of medications or risks of procedure and surgeries.
