Daflon 500 Mg Tablets

Daflon 500 Mg Tablets

Description:

Daflon 500 mg tablets are an oral prescription medicine used to support healthy veins and capillaries and to treat venous circulation disorders. Each film-coated tablet contains a micronized purified flavonoid fraction (MPFF) composed of diosmin and hesperidin, which are vascular-protecting and venotonic agents. Daflon 500 mg is commonly used in the management of hemorrhoids and chronic venous insufficiency symptoms such as leg pain, heaviness, and swelling. It is suitable for adult men and women and should be taken under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Treatment of acute hemorrhoidal attacks (hemorrhoids), including pain, bleeding, and swelling in the anal area.
• Adjunctive treatment of chronic venous insufficiency of the lower limbs (varicose veins), including symptoms such as leg heaviness, pain, night cramps, and edema (swelling).
• Management of capillary fragility-related conditions such as bleeding gums and epistaxis (nosebleeds), as clinically indicated by the physician.
• Supportive treatment in certain periodontal and gingival conditions associated with increased capillary fragility, as directed by a healthcare professional.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Micronized Purified Flavonoid Fraction (MPFF) – 500 mg per tablet, consisting of:
• Diosmin – 450 mg per tablet
• Hesperidin (expressed as flavonoids expressed as hesperidin) – 50 mg per tablet
• Other excipients (film-coating agents, fillers, etc.) – exact composition and concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website; please refer to the official package insert for full excipient list.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Route of administration: Oral use only. Swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew.
• For chronic venous insufficiency (varicose veins, leg heaviness, edema): Typical adult dose is 1 tablet (500 mg) twice daily (one at midday and one in the evening) with meals, or as directed by your doctor.
• For acute hemorrhoidal attacks: Common regimen (may vary by country and physician): up to 6 tablets per day for the first 4 days (e.g., 2 tablets three times daily), followed by 4 tablets per day for the next 3 days (e.g., 2 tablets twice daily). Always follow your doctor’s exact instructions.
• Duration of use: For chronic venous disease, treatment duration is determined by your physician based on symptom response. For acute hemorrhoids, treatment is usually short term; if symptoms persist beyond a few days, medical reassessment is required.
• With or without food: It is recommended to take Daflon 500 mg with meals to improve gastrointestinal tolerance.
• Missed dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed tablet.
• Special populations: Use in children is not recommended due to insufficient data. In elderly patients, the same adult dose is generally used unless otherwise advised by a physician.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps strengthen vein walls and improve venous tone, supporting better blood return from the legs to the heart.
• Reduces symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency such as leg heaviness, pain, swelling, and discomfort, improving daily comfort and mobility.
• Provides vascular-protective action by decreasing capillary fragility and permeability, helping to reduce microvascular bleeding and bruising.
• Supports faster relief of pain, swelling, and bleeding associated with acute hemorrhoidal attacks when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
