The high level of effectiveness of the tablet form, which is four times higher than drops, can significantly reduce the duration of the treatment process. Tablets are recommended in case of severe post-traumatic or postoperative soft tissue edema.
Patients whose work is associated with conditions requiring increased attention and a quick psychomotor reaction are prescribed a drug in the form of tablets. Children, pregnant women are also prescribed a tablet form of the medicine. In plastic surgery, tablets are used to prevent the formation of postoperative edema.
Drops, acting more gently, are effective in the initial stage of varicose veins, as a prophylactic agent for relapse of diseases associated with functional disorders of blood supply. Drops of the drug are effective for the treatment of varicose veins of the lower extremities, both in the initial stage and in cases of severe disease. Removing puffiness, drops reduce pain. The use of an alcohol solution or tablets is carried out only after consulting a doctor, avoiding self-medication.
Diseases of the venous system can lead to thrombosis, trophic ulcer of the lower leg, severe defects on the legs. In case of impaired venous circulation, the drug Eskuzan is effective. The main active ingredient of the drug is escin, which is contained in the fruits of horse chestnut (stomach). The fruits of horse chestnut reduce the concentration of lysosomal enzymes that have a direct effect on metabolism. As a result, vascular permeability decreases, preventing the leakage of electrolytes, water and low molecular weight proteins in the intercellular space.
In addition to horse chestnut extracts, thiamine chloride ( vitamin B1 ) is present in the preparation as an active ingredient , which plays an important role in metabolic processes and protects cell membranes from the toxic effects of peroxidation products. The drug is released in the form of an alcohol solution (drops) and tablets.

The herbal preparation has the following properties:
- Reduces the secretion of blood, pus and other exudates that accompany the inflammatory process.
- Promotes increased vascular tone.
- Reduces tissue swelling.
- Prevents cell aging processes.
- Protects small blood vessels from damage.
The active metabolite escin contained in the extract of the seeds of the stomach, stimulating the production of hormones of the adrenal cortex, increases the content of biologically active substances in the walls of blood vessels. As a result, the state of the walls of blood vessels and capillaries improves, blood stasis in the veins decreases, contributing to the elimination of edema. Under the influence of escin, the risk of blood clots in the lumen of the vessels decreases. Thiamine, which is part of the drug, has an antioxidant effect, preventing the aging of cells.
General characteristics of drops and tablets “Eskuzan”
The identical composition of the main active ingredients (thiamine chloride and escin) provides the drug, used in the form of drops or tablets, with the same pharmacological effect. Eskusan is effective for the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency, varicose and post-traumatic genesis and its complications.
