Each film-coated tablet contains: 500 mg micronized purified flavonoid fraction equivalent to Diosmin 450 mg, Hesperidin 50 mg.
Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics: Mechanism of Action: Diosmin + Hesperidin is a phlebotonic drug 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.
Double-blind, placebo-controlled studies have demonstrated Diosmin + Hesperidin's efficacy on chronic venous disease. Diosmin + Hesperidin significantly improves disabling symptoms of venous insufficiency which affect everyday active life: Heavy legs, pain, heat sensation, edema, functional impairment and nocturnal cramps.
In addition to conventional compression therapy, Diosmin + Hesperidin has been shown to accelerate complete healing of venous leg ulcers.
Diosmin + Hesperidin is highly effective in the treatment of chronic hemorrhoidal disease. It significantly improves subjective symptoms and objective signs eg, anal discomfort, pain, redness, anal discharge, proctitis, tenesmus, pruritus, erythema and bleeding. Diosmin + Hesperidin also significantly reduces the frequency, severity and duration of acute hemorrhoidal attacks and bleeding by chronic treatment.
Treatment of the symptoms and signs of organic and idiopathic chronic venous disease of the lower limbs eg, heavy legs, pain, heat sensation, edema, functional impairment and nocturnal cramps.
Treatment of the symptoms of acute hemorrhoidal attacks and chronic hemorrhoidal disease.
Usual Dose: Chronic Venous Disease: 2 tablets daily with meals.
Chronic Hemorrhoidal Disease: 2 tablets daily with meals.
Acute Hemorrhoidal Attack: 6 tablets daily (in 2 divided doses) for 4 days, then 4 tablets daily (in 2 divided doses) for 3 days, 2 tablets thereafter.
Should be taken with food: Take at mealtimes.
Or as prescribed by the physician.
Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients of Diosmin + Hesperidin.
The administration of Diosmin + Hesperidin for the symptomatic treatment of acute hemorrhoids does not preclude treatment for other anal conditions. If symptoms do not subside promptly, a proctological examination should be performed and the treatment should be reviewed.
Use in pregnancy & lactation: Experimental studies have not shown any teratogenic effect in animals. In human beings, no harmful effect has so far been reported.
In the absence of data concerning the diffusion into breast milk, breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment.
