Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

. Diosmin belongs to the group of bioflavonoids and has phlebotonic properties (it reduces stretching of veins, increases venous tone (dose-dependent effect), reduces venous congestion), improves lymphatic drainage (it increases tone and frequency of contraction of lymphatic capillaries, increases their functional density, It reduces the lymphatic pressure), improves microcirculation (it increases capillary resistance (dose-dependent effect) and decreases their permeability), reduces leucocyte adhesion to the venous wall and their migration into the paravenous tissue, improves oxygen diffusion and perfusion in the skin tissue and has an anti-inflammatory effect. It enhances the vasoconstrictor effect of adrenaline and noradrenaline, blocks the production of free radicals, the synthesis of prostaglandins and thromboxane.

Pharmacokinetics

Diosmin is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. It is detected in blood plasma 2 hours after intake. The bioavailability of the drug after oral administration is approximately 40 – 57.9%. Part of the drug is metabolized by cecum bacteria to form hippuric and benzoic acids. Maximum concentration in blood plasma is reached 5 hours after intake. The drug accumulates in all layers of the wall of the hollow veins and subcutaneous veins of the lower limbs, to a lesser extent in the kidneys, liver and lungs and other tissues. Distribution volume of the drug is 62.1 l. The maximum selective accumulation of diosmin and/or its metabolites in the wall of the venous vessels is noted 9 hours after administration and persists for 96 hours.

Diosmin is rapidly metabolized in the liver. The main metabolite is hydroxyphenylpropionic acid. Metabolites of diosmin excreted mainly by the kidneys in the form of conjugates with glucuronic acid. 79% of ingested diosmin is excreted by the kidneys, 11% – the intestines, 2.4% – with the bile. Enterohepatic circulation of the drug is noted. After taking diosmin labeled with radioactive isotope about 86% of the drug is excreted by the kidneys and intestines within 48 hours.

Special Instructions
Special Instructions
The treatment of acute hemorrhoids is combined with other medications. In the absence of rapid clinical effect it is recommended to consult a proctologist, and if necessary, to conduct additional examination and adjust the current therapy.
In patients with venous circulatory disorders (varicose veins of the lower extremities, chronic lymphovenous insufficiency of the lower extremities) the maximum effect of therapy is achieved by the combination of therapy and lifestyle changes: it is advisable to avoid long periods of standing in an upright position and to reduce excessive body weight. In some cases improving blood circulation helps to wear special stockings (compression stockings).
There is insufficient experience with diosmin in children under 18 years of age. If there is no reduction or if the symptoms become more severe, consult a doctor! Do not exceed the maximum periods and recommended doses of the drug without consulting your doctor!
