Is it alright to take standard multivitamins during schlerotherapy, or will this affect results? (I read that Vitamin E is not good during treatment, and multi-vitamins contain some Vitamin E.)
Yes, it is OK to take standard multivitamins during schlerotherapy. There are no problems.

Yes, all multivitamins would be fine and should not affect the outcome of the treatment.

There should be no problem with you taking a multivitamin before, during and after a sclerotherapy session. While there is some vitamin E in most multivitamins, the amount in a your multivitamin should not cause an anti-platelet effect of any concern.

Well, vitamin E can cause prolonged bleeding, but is only a concern regarding bruising, which goes away after about two weeks.

Multivitamins are OK but you might take ones with no iron. There is a theoretical concern of more issues with hyper-pigmentation with iron supplements.

In our experience we have found that vitamin E and Omega 3 do not affect the outcome for sclerotherapy. In fact, we have successfully treated many patients on blood thinners such as Coumadin. We usually recommend wearing the support hose for a little longer for those people.

Taking standard doses of multivitamin is OK during sclerotherapy, though a large amount of any vitamin is not good for anyone.

I think it is ok. I don't see any differences in the results of those who take Vitamin E and those who don't.
