Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
. Semisynthetic bioflavonoid (rutin derivative) of benzopyran class; it possesses P-vitamin activity, has venotinizing, angioprotective, anti-inflammatory and anti-edema effect, decreases capillary permeability and fragility.
His pharmacodynamic properties are associated with the participation of bioflavonoids of troxerutin in redox processes and hyaluronidase inhibition. Inhibiting hyaluronidase, troxerutin stabilizes hyaluronic acid of cell membranes and reduces their permeability. It has antioxidant activity, as a result of which it prevents oxidation of ascorbic acid, adrenaline and lipids. In addition, it reduces the permeability and fragility of capillaries, prevents damage to the basal membrane of endothelial cells when it is exposed to various factors. Troxerutin increases the density of the vascular wall, reduces the exudation of the liquid part of the plasma and diapedesis of the blood cells. Reduces exudative inflammation in the vascular wall by reducing platelet adhesion to its surface. Inhibits aggregation and increases the degree of red blood cell deformation.
The use of troxerutin is possible both in the initial and in the late stages of treatment of chronic venous insufficiency, it is possible to use as one of the components of complex treatment. Troxerutin reduces swelling and heaviness in the legs, decreases the intensity of pain and cramps and improves tissue trophism.
Troxerutin relieves symptoms associated with hemorrhoids (pain, exudation, itching, bleeding).
According to its influence on the permeability and resistance of capillary walls, troxerutin helps to slow down the progression of diabetic retinopathy.
The influence of troxerutin on the rheological properties of the blood helps to prevent the development of retinal vascular microthrombosis.
Pharmacokinetics
Troxerutin is quickly absorbed when the drug is taken orally. Maximum plasma concentration of troxerutin (Cmax) is established on average 1.75 ± 0.46 hours after oral administration. Absorption is approximately 10-15%. Bioavailability of the drug increases with increasing dose. The half-life (T1/2) is 6.77 ± 2.37 hours. Therapeutic concentration of the drug in blood plasma is maintained for 8 hours. In 30 hours after troxerutin administration a second maximum of the drug concentration in plasma is observed due to enterohepatic recirculation. It is partially metabolized in the liver to form glucuronide and trihydroethylquercitin. It is excreted mainly through intestine (up to 65-70%), a smaller part (up to 25%) of the drug is excreted unchanged by the kidneys.

Chronic venous insufficiency with symptoms such as heavy legs, trophic skin lesions (dermatitis, trophic ulcers);
Chronic venous insufficiency with symptoms such as heavy legs – superficial thrombophlebitis, periphlebitis;
– hemorrhoids;
– post-thrombotic syndrome;

Active ingredient
Composition
The active ingredient: troxerutin – 300 mg.
Excipients: macrogol 6000 (polyethylene glycol 6000, polyethylene oxide 6000), magnesium stearate.
The contents of the gelatin capsule: body: titanium dioxide, gelatin; cap: sunset yellow dye, quinoline yellow dye, titanium dioxide, gelatin.
How to take, the dosage
The drug is taken orally, with meals. Capsules should be swallowed whole with enough water.
In the initial phase of treatment, 1 capsule (300 mg) 3 times a day is taken. The effect usually develops within 2 weeks.

If necessary, the dose can be increased after consultation with the doctor. The course of treatment averages 3-4 weeks.
For maintenance therapy it is enough to take 1 capsule (300 mg) per day for 3 to 4 weeks.
In diabetic retinopathy the drug is used 0.9 to 1.8 g daily which corresponds to taking 1-2 capsules three times a day. The course of treatment is approximately 3 to 4 weeks.
The need for longer treatment is determined after consultation with the doctor and on an individual basis.
Interaction
Concomitant use increases the effect of ascorbic acid on the resistance and permeability of the vascular wall.
