[Vasomotor substances and anti-inflammatory agents in the treatment of phlebitis]

Intrafemoral injections of substances known as "vasodilators" are still of the utmost value in the treatment of deep phlebitis as are the anti-inflammatory drugs, particularly in their injectable forms (Butazolidine, Ketazone). The indications are : cases of phlebitis that are just developing ; failure of anticoagulants ; and contraindications to the use of anticoagulants, notably phlebitis during pregnancy. As always in the treatment of phlebitis, therapeutic results are only complete and lasting if an effective support bandage is also applied.
