Varithena fda approval?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Varithena

Varithena is a prescription sclerosant foam (polidocanol injectable foam) used to treat varicose veins. It was approved by the U.S. FDA in 2013 for the treatment of varicose veins due to reflux in the great saphenous vein, delivered as ultrasound-guided foam Sclerotherapy.

If you’d like, I can pull up the exact FDA approval date, the current labeling (Indications, Contraindications, warnings), or provide a link to the FDA/Drugs@FDA entry. Also I can summarize common safety considerations and who should not use it. What would you like to know specifically?
