Medicine Description daflon-500 500mg
Daflon 500 is a medication that combines two active flavonoids, diosmin and hesperidin, which work synergistically to enhance venous tone and improve microcirculation. Diosmin primarily acts by increasing the resistance of blood vessels to stretch, thus promoting better venous return and reducing venous stasis. This action helps alleviate symptoms associated with venous insufficiency, such as heaviness and swelling in the legs. Hesperidin complements diosmin's effects by enhancing the anti-inflammatory properties and improving capillary permeability, which contributes to the overall reduction of edema and inflammation. Together, these compounds contribute to improved vascular health and a decrease in the fragility of small blood vessels, minimizing the risk of hemorrhage and other vascular complications.
