Venotonizing agent Daflon: instructions and references

click fraud protection

Daflon 500 is one of the most commonly used drugs for the treatment of varicose veins, hemorrhoids, venous insufficiency and other forms of circulatory disorders.

The preparation is manufactured by the French pharmaceutical company Servier and belongs to the pharmacological group of microcirculatory and angioprotector correctors.

Thanks to this preparation, the structure of the venous wall is stabilized, its tone is increased, blood flow is accelerated and the blood supply of the diseased part of the vein decreases.

In simple words, everyone knows that blood moves through the veins up and down. Moving downwards helps the laws of gravity, but the heart and muscles of the legs, as well as the venous valves, do not allow it to move up, preventing the flow of blood from slowing down.

So, when the vein loses its elasticity and stretches, the valves stop closing, and as a result, blood circulation is disrupted.

Vienna expands even more, and the problem is aggravated by the development of complications in the form of trophic ulcers, inflammation, edema and severe pain. It is Daflon who is able to stop the destructive process and restore the normal functioning of blood vessels.

Pharmacological properties and mechanism of action

The main active ingredient of Daflonis diosmin. As shown by experimental studies, it is more effective in combination with a flavonoid such as hesperidin, which is an auxiliary component of this drug.

Thanks to this unique combination of diosmin with hesperidin it is possible:

  • to reduce the permeability and fragility of the walls of capillary vessels;
  • reduce blood viscosity;
  • improve lymphatic fluid outflow;
  • to increase the elasticity and tone of venous vessels;
  • to reduce the painful dilatability of veins;
  • to prevent sclerotic vascular lesions;
  • improve capillary blood flow.

Both components of the drug reduce the viscosity of leukocytes, preventing them from adhering to the walls of the vessels. Thanks to , this reduces the risk of getting blood into the parainous tissues.

When the first unpleasant sensations in the legs began to appear, I did not attach any importance to them. But my feet began to pour like pads, painful discomfort appeared in my legs, and a red mesh appeared on my shin, I realized that I could not do without the help of a specialist.

Problems with the legs have gone completely, do not hurt or swell. I can not believe that pills can do such miracles.
