Acute hemorrhoidal attacks.

Chronic hemorrhoidal disease.

Organic and functional chronic venous insufficiency of the lower limbs with the following symptoms: heavy legs, pain, nocturnal cramps.

Diosmin and Hesperidin is a phlebotonic drug and a vascular protecting agent. It reinforces venous tone by prolonging the activity of parietal noradrenaline. Thus Diosmin and Hesperidin decreases venous capacitance, venous distensibility, and venous emptying time. Diosmin and 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 prostaglandin. Thus Diosmin and Hesperidin normalizes capillary permeability and strengthens capillary resistance. Diosmin and Hesperidin acts on the lymphatic system, It improves lymphatic drainage by increasing lymph flow and lymph oncotic pressure.

No evidence of drug incompatibility (drug interaction) has been reported in clinical trials.

Chronic venous insufficiency and its complications should be diagnosed and management monitored by a physician. It is contraindicated for anyone having a hypersensitivity to any ingredient in the product.

Some cases of routine gastric disorders and neurovegetative disorders (feeling of discomfort) have been reported. In this cases discontinuation of treatment is not required.

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 excretion into breast milk, breast feeding is not recommended during treatment.

If the hemorrhoidal symptoms do not disappear within 15 days, patient should ask doctor for advice. Diosmin (up to 900 mg/day) has been administered to a small number of breast cancer patients who were experiencing lymphedema following surgical and nodal irradiation treatment with resultant reduction of arm edema but no effect on the cancer. Animal studies and more than 20 years of clinical use in Europe have not found any evidence of carcinogenicity or mutagenicity when the components of Diosmin & Hesperidin are used as recommended. As a precaution, Diosmin & Hesperidin is not recommended for patients with a history of cancer since no specific studies have been performed in this population.

Keep below 30°C temperature, away from light & moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
