Dosage forms

ATC Code

C05CA53 (Diosmin in combination with other drugs)

Active Substance

Micronised purified flavonoid fraction (diosmin+flavonoids expressed as hesperidin)

Clinical-Pharmacological Group

Venotonic drug

Pharmacotherapeutic Group

Venotonic and venoprotective agent

Pharmacological Action

Venotonic agent, also possesses angioprotective properties. It reduces venous distensibility and venous stasis, decreases capillary permeability and increases their resistance. The results of clinical studies confirm the pharmacological activity of drugs containing this active substance in relation to venous hemodynamic parameters.

It increases venous tone: a decrease in venous emptying time was demonstrated using venous occlusion plethysmography. In patients with signs of severe microcirculation impairment, therapy with drugs containing this active substance leads to a (statistically significant, compared to placebo) increase in capillary resistance, assessed by angiostereometry.

Therapeutic efficacy has been proven in the treatment of chronic venous diseases of the lower limbs, as well as in the treatment of hemorrhoids.

Pharmacokinetics

After oral administration, it undergoes active metabolism, which is confirmed by the presence of phenolic acids in the urine. It is eliminated from the body mainly with feces. On average, about 14% of the administered dose is excreted in the urine. T_1/2 is 11 hours.

Indications

Treatment of symptoms of venous-lymphatic insufficiency: pain; cramps in the lower limbs; sensation of heaviness and distension in the legs; “tired” legs.

Treatment of manifestations of venous-lymphatic insufficiency: swelling of the lower limbs; trophic changes of the skin and subcutaneous tissue; venous trophic ulcers.

Symptomatic treatment of acute and chronic hemorrhoids.

Special Precautions

In case of hemorrhoid flare-up, the use of this medicinal product does not replace specific treatment for other anal disorders.

If symptoms do not disappear after the recommended course of therapy, a proctologist examination should be performed.

In the presence of venous circulation disorders, the maximum treatment effect is achieved by combining therapy with a healthy (balanced) lifestyle: it is advisable to avoid prolonged sun exposure, prolonged standing, and weight reduction is recommended. Walking and, in some cases, wearing special stockings help improve blood circulation.
