C05CA03 • diosmin • Cardiovascular system | Capillary stabilizing agents | Bioflavonoids

Diosmin is a natural flavonoid used in the treatment of venous and lymphatic disorders. It is commonly prescribed to alleviate symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency, such as pain, heaviness in the legs, swelling (edema), and nighttime cramps. It is also used in the treatment of acute or chronic hemorrhoids.

Diosmin works by increasing venous tone, reducing capillary fragility, and improving lymphatic drainage. It helps reduce inflammation and improve blood circulation, making it effective in preventing blood stagnation in affected veins.

It is used both as a long-term treatment for venous insufficiency and as a short-term therapy for acute hemorrhoidal crises. Diosmin is often combined with hesperidin, another flavonoid, to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.

Side effects are rare and usually mild. They may include nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, or skin allergic reactions. In general, diosmin is well-tolerated by most patients.

Patients should follow their doctor’s recommendations regarding dosage and treatment duration. It is important to adopt a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity, avoiding prolonged standing or sitting, and maintaining an optimal body weight to support the effectiveness of the treatment.
