Specifications
Uses & Indications
Diosmin is primarily used for the treatment of symptoms related to chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), such as heavy legs, pain, restless legs, nocturnal cramps, and edema. It is also indicated for the treatment of hemorrhoids, including acute hemorrhoidal attacks and chronic hemorrhoidal disease.
How It Works
Diosmin acts as a venotonic and vasculoprotective agent. It prolongs the vasoconstrictor effect of norepinephrine on the venous wall, leading to increased venous tone and reduced venous distensibility and stasis. It also improves lymphatic drainage, decreases capillary permeability, and exhibits anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis and leukocyte adhesion.
Dosage & Administration
tablet
Adults: For chronic venous insufficiency or chronic hemorrhoids: 500 mg twice daily (morning and evening) or 1000 mg once daily. For acute hemorrhoidal attacks: 1000 mg three times daily for 4 days, followed by 500 mg twice daily for 3 days.
Children: Not recommended. Consult a physician for specific guidance.
Side Effects
- Gastrointestinal disturbances (e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dyspepsia) (generally <2%)
- Headache

- Malaise
Serious Side Effects

Contraindications

Drug Interactions
Limited significant drug interactions have been reported with diosmin. Theoretically, it may enhance the effects of anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents, though clinical significance is generally low. Caution is advised when co-administering with drugs metabolized by CYP enzymes, although diosmin's impact is considered minimal.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Category: Consult physician
Limited human data suggest no adverse effects when diosmin is used during pregnancy, particularly after the first trimester. However, it should only be used if clearly needed and under the direct supervision of a healthcare provider.
Storage
Store diosmin tablets at room temperature, typically between 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F), away from moisture and direct heat. Keep the medication out of reach of children.
Clinical Tips
To minimize potential gastrointestinal upset, it is often recommended to take diosmin with meals. Consistent use is important for managing chronic conditions. For chronic venous insufficiency, lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, elevating the legs, and wearing compression stockings are crucial alongside medication. For hemorrhoids, adequate fiber intake and hydration are essential.
