Polidocanol

Polidocanol (Polyoxyethylene lauryl ether) is an alkyl polyethylene glycol ether of lauryl alcohol, which is a derivative of natural fatty or alkyl alcohols in natural mineral oil and is a hardener. Polidocanol can be used as a local anesthetic, but in combination with other anesthetic drugs there is a risk of enhancing the effects of the anesthetic drugs on the cardiovascular system.
