Hidrosmin
Hidrosmin is a semisynthetic flavonoid, specifically a glycoside, that is used in the treatment of venous insufficiency. It is derived from diosmin, a naturally occurring flavonoid found in a variety of plants, particularly citrus fruits.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Hidrosmin has been shown to have several pharmacological effects that make it useful in the treatment of venous insufficiency. It has vasoprotective and venotonic properties, meaning it can increase the tone of veins and protect them from damage. It also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which can help to reduce swelling and protect cells from oxidative damage.
Clinical Use[edit | edit source]
Hidrosmin is used in the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency, a condition characterized by poor blood flow in the veins, usually in the legs. This can lead to symptoms such as swelling, pain, and varicose veins. Hidrosmin can help to improve these symptoms by improving venous tone and reducing inflammation.
It is also used in the treatment of hemorrhoids, a condition characterized by swollen veins in the lower part of the rectum and anus. Hidrosmin can help to reduce the swelling and discomfort associated with this condition.
Side Effects[edit | edit source]
Like all medications, Hidrosmin can cause side effects. These are generally mild and may include stomach upset, headache, and skin rash. However, severe side effects are rare.
