PRESENTATION:
DESCRIPTION
| Each tablet
contains fixed micronized combination
of purified flavonoid fraction 500 mg (diosmin
450 mg and flavonoids expressed as hesperidin
50 mg).
CIFLON consists of the micronization of its active
constituent. The micronization of CIFLON increases
gastrointestinal absorption, thus better bioavailability
and consequently a more rapid onset of efficacy
and provides CIFLON with added clinical efficacy. |
ACTIONS:
| Diosmin/hesperidin
is a phlebotonic drug and a vascular protecting
agent.
Diosmin/hesperidin is phlebotonic: It reinforces
venous tone by prolonging the activity of parietal
noradrenaline. Thus, DIOSMIN/HESPERIDIN decreases
venous capacitance, venous distensibility and
venous emptying time.
Diosmin/hesperidin protects the microcirculation
by fighting the microcirculation-damaging process;
it combats venous inflammation by decreasing leukocyte
activation and as a consequence, by inhibiting
the release of inflammatory mediators, principally
free radicals and prostaglandins. Thus, Diosmin/hesperidin
normalizes capillary permeability and strengthens
capillary resistance.
Diosmin/hesperidin acts on the lymphatics system:
It improves lymphatic drainage by increasing lymph
flow and lymph oncotic pressure. This action on
the lymphatic system associated with a phlebotonic
and vasculoprotective effect, explains the activity
of Diosmin/hesperidin on CVI associated edema.
Double-blind, placebo-controlled studies have
demonstrated Diosmin/hesperidin’s efficacy
on chronic venous insufficiency. Diosmin/hesperidin
significantly improves disabling symptoms of venous
insufficiency which affect everyday active life:
Heavy legs, pain, heat sensation, edema, functional
impairment and nocturnal cramps.
In addition to conventional compression therapy,
diosmin/hesperidin has also demonstrated to significantly
increase the chance of healing leg ulcer and to
shorten ulcer healing time.
Diosmin/hesperidin is highly effective in the
treatment of chronic hemorrhoidal disease. It
significantly improves subjective symptoms and
objective sign eg, anal discomfort, pain, redness,
anal discharge, proctitis, tenesmus, pruritus,
erythema and bleeding. Diosmin/hesperidin also
significantly reduces the frequency, severity
and duration of acute hemorrhoidal attacks by
chronic treatment. |
INDICATIONS:
| Treatment
of the symptoms and signs of organic and idiopatic
chronic venous insufficiency of the lower limbs
eg, heavy legs, pain, heat sensation, edema, functional
impairment and nocturnal cramps.
Treatment of the symptoms of acute hemorrhoidal
attacks and chronic hemorrhoidal disease. |

daily.
