A member asked:
I have rheumatic heart disease and some venous insufficiency; are there single drugs that treat both?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2:1 Drug Rx: These are two different disease processes. Venous insufficiency is treated most often without medication but with compression. With your ra, you may feel uncomfortable with the compression that may require some compromise (a palliative approach) between yourself and your clinician.
