[Product of choice for maintenance sclerosis: 66% glucose solution].
The use of a 66% hypertonic glucose saline solution provides absolute security in sclerosant treatment. It has no side effects and does not provoke any allergic reactions and it produces a good quality sclerosis without pigmentation or thrombus. The injection can sometimes be painful, so it should be made very slowly. Its effectiveness is good, although less than that of sodium tetradecyl sulphate. Intra-arterial injection in animals dose not cause gangrene of the limb. Extravascular injection does not cause necrosis.
