This medicine contains Diosmin + Hesperidin and is a phlebotonic and a vascular-protecting agent.
The efficacy of Diosmin + Hesperidin is accounted for by its specific action on the principal elements of venous disease.
Diosmin + Hesperidin is phlebotonic: It reinforces venous tone by prolonging the activity of parietal noradrenaline. Thus, Diosmin + Hesperidin decreases venous capacitance, venous distensibility and venous emptying time. Diosmin + Hesperidin protects the microcirculation by fighting the microcirculation-damaging process; it combats venous inflammation by decreasing leukocyte activation and as a consequence, by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators, principally free radicals and prostaglandins. Thus, Diosmin + Hesperidin normalizes capillary permeability and strengthens capillary resistance.
Diosmin + Hesperidin acts on the lymphatic system: It improves lymphatic drainage by increasing lymph flow and lymph oncotic pressure. This action on the lymphatic system associated with a phlebotonic and vasculoprotective effect, explains the activity of Diosmin + Hesperidin on CVD-associated edema.
Diosmin + Hesperidin is highly effective in the treatment of chronic hemorrhoids disease.
