How Does It Work?

Diosmin

Diosmin is a naturally occurring flavonoid used in venous disorders. It is associated with effects on venous tone and microcirculation and may help reduce venous distension and capillary permeability.

Hesperidin

Hesperidin is a flavonoid commonly used in combination with diosmin. It contributes to the pharmacological activity of the combination and is associated with effects on vascular and microvascular function.

Combination Action

Diosmin and hesperidin are used together to support venous function and help manage symptoms associated with chronic venous circulation disorders.

Dosage Guidelines

The appropriate dosage and treatment duration depend on the indication, severity of symptoms, formulation strength, clinical response and approved product information.

The exact dose and treatment duration should follow the approved product information and the recommendation of a qualified healthcare professional.

For oral tablets:

• Take exactly as prescribed.
• Swallow the tablet with sufficient water unless otherwise directed.
• Do not crush, split, chew or dissolve the tablet unless permitted by the approved product information.

Medical advice should be obtained for patients with persistent or unexplained leg swelling, significant pain, skin changes or other symptoms requiring diagnostic assessment.

• Other medicines affecting bleeding or vascular function

Safety Advice

Overdose

If an overdose is suspected, seek immediate medical attention or contact an appropriate poison-control or emergency medical service.

Missed Dose

Take the missed dose when remembered unless it is nearly time for the next scheduled dose. If the next dose is due soon, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular schedule. Do not double the next dose unless specifically instructed by a healthcare professional.

Pregnancy

Use during pregnancy should be based on appropriate medical assessment. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before using diosmin + hesperidin during pregnancy.

Breastfeeding

There is limited information regarding use during breastfeeding. A healthcare professional should assess whether treatment is appropriate before use.

Children

Use in children should follow the approved product information and professional medical advice. The safety and appropriate dosing may differ from adult use.

Elderly Patients

Older patients should use the product according to the approved product information and professional advice, particularly when other medicines are being taken concurrently.

Venous Symptoms

Persistent or worsening leg swelling, pain, skin discoloration, ulcers or sudden symptoms should be medically assessed rather than managed solely with a venous-supportive medicine.

General Instructions

• Take the medicine according to the prescribed schedule.
• Swallow the tablet with sufficient water unless otherwise directed.
• Do not alter the prescribed dosage.
• Follow the approved product information.
• Maintain appropriate physical activity where recommended for venous health.

Special Dietary / Lifestyle Tips

No specific dietary restriction is generally required unless advised by a healthcare professional.

For individuals with chronic venous symptoms, maintaining regular physical activity and avoiding prolonged sitting or standing may support general venous health where medically appropriate.

A balanced diet and adequate fluid intake may also contribute to general health.

Comparison with Other Treatments

The appropriate treatment depends on the cause and severity of symptoms, the patient’s medical history and the approved indication. Persistent or unexplained symptoms may require medical evaluation rather than treatment based only on symptom relief.
