ASCLERA (polidocanol) is an intravenous sclerosing agent approved in 2010 for treatment of varicose veins and great saphenous vein incompetence. It works by damaging the endothelium of targeted veins, causing them to collapse and be reabsorbed. The drug is administered as a solution directly into affected veins.
