The Active ingredients in Thera-P Complete - based on scientific research mentioned below - help with: 

Each Enteric Coated Capsule from Thera-P Complete™ contains 200 mg of standardized powdered extract of Horse Chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum), Aescin.

Aescin is the same active ingredient in Reparil tablet 20 mg & 40 mg (Reparil is Registered Trademark, manufactured originally by MADAUS GmbH, GERMANY, now under Mylan, sold in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Mechanism of Action

The target site of Aescin is the vascular wall. In pathologically raised permeability, Aescin inhibits exudation by reducing the extravasation of fluid into the tissue and accelerating the subsidence of oedema. The mode of action is based on changes in the permeability of the affected capillary walls. In addition, Aescin raises capillary resistance, inhibits inflammatory processes and improves microcirculation.
