A drug can cause poisoning if, for example, too much of it is taken. The drug may also be administered or taken by mistake.

The veins carry the blood to the heart from the body. When the veins are enlarged, they are called varicose veins. There are various medications used to treat varicose veins. Varicose veins can be cauterized with some medications. Some of the drugs used to treat varicose veins also have other areas of application. The symptoms can vary depending on which drug in this group has caused the poisoning.
