DIOSMIN

About

DIOSMIN contains an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory flavonoid naturally found in citrus fruits. It is primarily used to treat varicose veins (twisted and enlarged veins), lymphedema (swelling of arms and legs), and acute and chronic haemorrhoids (swollen veins of the lower rectum and anus). In addition, DIOSMIN also acts as an antioxidant that promotes healing. Generally, the problems related to obstructive blood flow due to veins swelling are treated by DIOSMIN.

DIOSMIN contains Diosmin. DIOSMIN has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It works by blocking the chemical messengers responsible for causing inflammation (swelling), improving blood flow to blocked veins, and reducing inflammation in the swelled-up veins. As a result, the pain and swelling are reduced when the blood flows adequately to the blocked veins. This helps us carry out our daily activities, restoring normal functions. Also, DIOSMIN helps to improve quality of life.

Take DIOSMIN as prescribed by your doctor. Depending upon your medical condition, you are advised to take DIOSMIN for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you.

    Patients Concern

    Disease/Condition Glossary

    Varicose veins: When the veins become enlarged and twisted, they are called varicose. The most commonly affected veins are those of the legs as walking and standing increase pressure on the veins of the lower body. It can lead to pain and discomfort and sometimes more severe complications.

    Lymphedema: Lymphedema generally refers to swelling in the legs and arms (sometimes one and sometimes both). It occurs when the lymph nodes are damaged or removed, as it is a part of cancer treatment. As a result, the lymphatic system is blocked, which prevents fluid in the lymph from draining out. Hence, the legs and arms swell up.

    Haemorrhoids: When the lower rectum and anus veins are swollen, it is known as haemorrhoids or piles. Haemorrhoids can be internal (inside the rectum) or external (under the skin around the anus). It can be treated sometimes by simple lifestyle changes and home treatments. The exact cause for it is not known.
