What is Daflon 500mg?
Daflon 500mg is a highly effective phlebotonic and vascular protective medication. It is formulated with a Micronized Purified Flavonoid Fraction (MPFF), consisting of 90% Diosmin (450mg) and 10% Hesperidin (50mg).
The "micronization" process is a specialized technology that reduces the particle size of the active ingredients, ensuring significantly better absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and faster clinical relief compared to non-micronized alternatives.
Key Benefits and Uses
Daflon 500mg is primarily used to manage conditions related to the venous circulatory system:
- Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI): Provides relief from symptoms like heavy legs, pain, night cramps, and leg swelling (edema).
- Varicose Veins: Helps in strengthening vessel walls and improving blood flow.
- Acute Hemorrhoidal Attack (Piles): Recommended for the fast relief of symptoms associated with hemorrhoids.
How Daflon 500mg Works
It works by increasing the venous tone and protecting the microcirculation. By strengthening the walls of the blood vessels and reducing inflammation in the veins, it helps to restore normal blood flow and reduce the discomfort associated with venous disorders.
