1. What is Diohespan max and what is it used for

Diohespan max increases venous tone and has a protective effect on blood vessels. It increases lymphatic drainage by enhancing the peristalsis (motility) of lymphatic vessels and lymph flow. The medicine acts on microcirculation, reducing the permeability of small blood vessels, perivascular inflammation, and stasis in microcirculation. It also reduces the fragility of small blood vessels.

Indications for Use

  • varicose veins,
  • venous ulcers,
  • telangiectasias (dilations of very small venous vessels, so-called spider veins),
  • reticular veins,
  • feeling of heaviness, discomfort, fatigue in the legs,
  • restless legs syndrome (unpleasant sensations in the lower limbs that force movement, usually occurring at night),
  • leg pain,
  • burning sensation, itching of the skin on the legs,
  • feeling of cold legs,
  • nocturnal cramps,
  • leg swelling,
  • paresthesia (tingling),
  • redness (erythema) of the skin,
  • bluish discoloration of the skin.

Diohespan max is indicated for monotherapy (i.e., used alone) in the initial stages of chronic venous insufficiency or as a supplement to other therapies in all stages of venous insufficiency.
