After my sclerotherapy, I took and Advil by mistake. Is it going to affect anything?

Thank you for your question in regards to sclerotherapy/spider vein treatment. Taking an advil post treatment should not cause a problem with your sclerotherapy session. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

There is a theoretical reason to avoid medicines like ibuprofen/advil during and after sclerotherapy treatments but in my opinion it is unlikely to make a significant difference. The medicine or sclerosant that is injected causes the targeted veins to close by promoting clotting of those veins and medicines like advil can thin your blood a bit which can in theory counteract the desired effect to some extent. I have not seen a big difference however in my practice. The most important thing is that you wear your compression stockings to help keep the treated veins collapsed. As long as you do that, you will likely have good results anyhow. I would not worry too much about it.

Good afternoon and thank you for your question,Advil will not have any adverse effects on your sclerotherapy treatment. You have nothing to worry about.Have a great day
