Fitoven is a complex medicine for external treatment with angioprotective activity. It is used to provide a protective effect against veins and capillaries. The composition of the drug contains an extract of the herb of medicinal melilot, extract of aesculus seeds, and in addition, lavender and rosemary oil.
The main active elements of the sweet clover extract are coumarin with melitolin, which complement the effect of the esculus. They strengthen the vascular walls and improve blood circulation inside the veins. [1]

This leads to a decrease in tissue edema.
The drug increases the vascular tone of the veins and improves the rheological characteristics of the blood. It has a moderate anticoagulant activity. [2]
