Venixxa™ Medication

It was introduced in Canada just recently, but the product has been available in many countries around the world for more than 20 years under the names Daflon 500 and Detralex.

None of the ingredients in the formulation are made from lactose.

No. Venixxa is available over the counter at the pharmacy. If you cannot find it, your pharmacist can order it for you.

You can find Venixxa in pharmacies across Canada, and right next-door to the clinic at Shoppers Drug Mart.

If you forget to take a tablet, just take it as soon as you remember. Do not take a double dose to make up for the forgotten tablet.

Venixxa is well tolerated. Possible side effects include hypersensitivity/allergy, gastrointestinal discomfort, dizziness, headaches, malaise, and skin reactions.

No specific drug interaction studies have been conducted with Venixxa. There have been no known drug interactions with Venixxa since its initial launch in international markets over 20 years ago.

It is recommended that you consult your physician for use beyond 2 months. 

Simply take 1 tablet of Venixxa twice daily, midday and evening with meals, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.
