Left untreated, venous insufficiency tends to get worse insidiously. Venous stasis has the effect of maintaining dilation of the blood vessels and weakening the valves, further exacerbating venous return.
In the long term, more severe complications can occur, with, in particular, a higher risk of thrombosis (blockage of a vein by a blood clot). In the most serious cases, it can lead to a potentially life-threatening pulmonary embolism (when the clot travels to a pulmonary artery).
Diosmin Plus primarily contains diosmin, a flavonoid pigment found in certain citrus fruits (3-4) and plant species of the rutaceae family.
It’s an active compound that has been used therapeutically for more than 40 years to treat chronic venous insufficiency and is recognised for its venotonic and vasotonic properties. It’s associated with benefits such as strengthening blood vessel walls, increasing venous tone and normalising capillary permeability.
The most common dose for diosmin is 300mg-900mg, ie 1-3 capsules a day.
It is sometimes combined with hesperidin for treating vein problems or relieving heavy leg syndrome during and post-menopause.
Diosmin is extremely well tolerated and safe to use.
