Indications

Pain

Daflon is used to treat acute hemorrhoidal attacks and chronic hemorrhoidal disease. It is also used for organic and functional chronic venous insufficiency of the lower limbs presenting with heavy legs, pain and nocturnal cramps.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Diosmin and Hesperidin is a phlebotonic drug and a vascular protecting agent. It reinforces venous tone by prolonging the activity of parietal noradrenaline. This decreases venous capacitance, venous distensibility, and venous emptying time. Diosmin and Hesperidin also protects the microcirculation by fighting the processes that damage it. It combats venous inflammation by lowering leukocyte activation, which reduces the release of inflammatory mediators, mainly free radicals and prostaglandins. As a result, it normalizes capillary permeability and strengthens capillary resistance. Diosmin and Hesperidin acts on the lymphatic system too, improving lymphatic drainage by increasing lymph flow and lymph oncotic pressure.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Studies done in animals have not shown any birth defects linked to this medicine. No harmful effect in human beings has been reported so far. Because there is no data on whether the medicine passes into breast milk, breastfeeding is not recommended while you are taking it.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
