| Mechanism Of Action | When injected directly into a vein, sodium tetradecyl sulfate causes intimal inflammation and venous thrombus formation, which then results in occlusion of the vein. Following this sequence of events, fibrous tissue forms and causes partial to complete obliteration of the vein, which may be temporary or permanent. An important role of this drug, as well as other sclerosing agents, is to control active hemorrhage and encourage hemostasis. This may be due to the esophageal and vascular smooth muscle spasm induced by the sclerosing agent |
