Daflon 500mg

The information on this product's packaging is Turkish language only.

Uses
Daflon (Diosmine/Hesperidin) is used as a treatment for haemorrhoids, varicose veins, circulation problems and bleeding that affects the gums or eyes. In some cases, patients have used it to treat lymphoedema (inflammation of the arms) occurring as a result of breast cancer surgery, or to prevent liver problems. When used to treat haemorrhoids, it is believed to work by causing a reduction in inflammation and repairing the function of the veins.

One of the active ingredients in this medicine (diosmin) is a plant chemical that generally occurs in certain fruits (citrus fruits), which is combined with hesperidin, (also a plant chemical). Diosmin has been the subject of much speculation with regard to possible benefits in treating Alzheimer's disease.

Dosage and Administration
Daflon (Diosmine/Hesperidin) comes as tablets which are taken orally. You must visit your doctor to determine the correct dosage. The dosage for treating internal haemorrhoids is different to that required for the prevention of haemorrhoids. Also, a specific dosage regimen will need to be prescribed for patients who are treating wounds in the legs caused by circulation problems. In all cases, patients must check with their doctor before taking this medication.
