diosmin/edema

OBJECTIVE Retinal swelling, leading to irreversible visual impairment, is an important early complication in retinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Diosmin, a naturally occurring flavonoid glycoside, has been shown to have antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects against I/R injury. The

To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of oral administration of Linfadren^® in addition to conventional treatment in patients with post-trauma/surgery persistent hand edema.

Parallel-group randomized controlled

Patients suffering from any class of the Clinical, Etiological, Anatomical, Pathophysiological (CEAP) classification of chronic venous disease (CVD) may be symptomatic (C0s-C6s). Leg heaviness, discomfort, itching, cramps, pain, paresthesia, and edema (C3) are the most frequent manifestations of CVD

Inflammation activates leukocytes causing the release of agents that disrupt the endothelial barrier to such an extent that retention of plasma protein is impaired. This phenomenon can be observed using microvascular methods in which ischemia-reperfusion-induced inflammation-like condition are

A controlled double-blind clinical trial was performed comparing therapeutic efficacy of hidrosmin versus diosmin in patients suffering from chronic venous insufficiency with varicose symptomatology in the inferior limbs. Ten patients were treated with hidrosmin and other 10 with diosmin randomly.

The aim of this independent study was to investigate differences in efficacy between HR, (0-[beta-hydroxyethyl]-rutosides) and D+H (500 mg, diosmin+hesperidin) in patients with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). A first group of 90 patients with severe venous hypertension (CVI, ankle swelling) were

This article reviews the mechanisms by which micronized purified flavonoid fraction (MPFF; Daflon 500 mg) acts on symptoms as well as on edema in patients with chronic venous disease, in the light of new advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of this chronic condition. Deterioration of

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the reduction of venous ankle edema in randomized controlled trials of the main venoactive drugs versus a placebo or versus another venoactive drug and thereby to confirm or invalidate the existing recommendations on the pharmacological treatment of

OBJECTIVE To evaluate long-term follow-up of the orally administered combination of flavonoids with Centella asiatica and Melilotus for treatment of diabetic cystoid macular edema (CME) without macular thickening. METHODS Seventy consecutive patients with type 2 diabetes and CME without macular

BACKGROUND The role of a mixture of phlebotonics in the treatment of acute hemorrhoid crisis is investigated to test their efficacy. METHODS One hundred and thirty-four consecutive patients with an acute hemorrhoidal crisis recruited in five colorectal units entered the study. Sixty-six of them were

Several phlebotropic drugs, or edema-protecting drugs, are available, the most important of which are found in the gamma-benzopyrone family (flavonoids). gamma-Benzopyrones can be plant extracts, semisynthetic preparations, or synthetic preparations. This family is divided into two different groups:

Diosmin is a natural compound with a wide range of biological activity, e.g., it improves lymphatic drainage, supports microcirculation, and increases venous tone, and venous elasticity, hence, it is applied in the pharmacotherapy of chronic venous disorders (CVD). The aim of this study was to

The aim of this independent study was to investigate differences in efficacy between oxerutins (Venoruton) and 500 mg micronized diosmin + hesperidin (D+H) (Daflon) in patients with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), evaluating venous-related quality of life (Ve-QOL). A first group of 90 patients

Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) affects a large number of people in Western countries, and is responsible for considerable inconvenience, discomfort, suffering, and costs. Micronized purified flavonoid fraction (MPFF, 450 mg diosmin plus 50 mg hesperidin-Daflon 500 mg) is a potent venotropic drug

Early manifestations of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) are edema, hyperpigmentation, and lipodermatosclerosis. Late complications are cutaneous ulceration and delayed healing. The specific hallmarks of this inflammation include CD68-positive infiltration into the dermal tissue, monocytes, and
