Hydroxyethylrutoside
Hydroxyethylrutoside (also known as Oxerutins) is a type of flavonoid that is commonly used in the treatment of venous insufficiency and hemorrhoids. It is derived from rutin, a naturally occurring compound found in a variety of plants.
Chemical Structure[edit | edit source]
Hydroxyethylrutoside is a semi-synthetic derivative of rutin. It is composed of a flavone backbone with three hydroxyethyl groups attached. The chemical formula is C27H36O15.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Hydroxyethylrutoside has been shown to have several pharmacological effects. It has vasoprotective properties, meaning it can protect the integrity of blood vessels. It also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which can help to reduce swelling and protect cells from damage.
Medical Uses[edit | edit source]
Hydroxyethylrutoside is used in the treatment of several conditions related to the veins. These include:
- Chronic venous insufficiency: This is a condition where the veins do not efficiently return blood from the legs to the heart. Hydroxyethylrutoside can help to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms such as swelling and pain.
- Hemorrhoids: Hydroxyethylrutoside can help to reduce the inflammation and swelling associated with hemorrhoids.
- Varicose veins: Hydroxyethylrutoside can help to improve the tone and elasticity of the veins, reducing the appearance of varicose veins.
Side Effects[edit | edit source]
Like all medications, hydroxyethylrutoside can cause side effects. These may include nausea, stomach upset, and headache. If these side effects persist or worsen, medical attention should be sought.
