Diosmin

Drug Details

Diosmin is a naturally occurring flavonoid primarily found in citrus fruits. It is commonly used to manage various vascular conditions, including hemorrhoids and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), which encompasses issues like varicose veins and leg ulcers. Diosmin is often combined with hesperidin, another citrus-derived flavonoid, in formulations such as micronized purified flavonoid fraction (MPFF). This combination is believed to enhance venous tone, improve lymphatic drainage, and reduce inflammation. While generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild side effects like stomach discomfort, diarrhea, or headaches. It's important to consult a healthcare professional before starting diosmin, especially for those with bleeding disorders or who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
