Daflon 500 medicine can help my varicose veins to reduce?

NO!: These medications are sold under false pretexts . It will not change the size of your varicosities, it can ease to some degree swelling in the ankle if you have so theoretically could ease the possible pain you may feel at the end of the day. The best symptomatic treatment: compression stocking and elevation of the leg.

Not available in US: Daflon 500 is not available in the us and cannot be legally sold or imported here. Dr. Goren is right. It will not make your varicose veins smaller. Daflon 500 is the only venotonic (medicine for varicose veins), however, that has been shown in prospective, randomized studies to improve swelling related to varicose veins. If you want your veins to go away, see a vein specialist and have tx.

Daflon.: Daflon consists of flavonoids, diosmin and hesperitin which are agents that are purported to improve the vein wall (venomotor tone) and thus, improve venous symptoms and decrease vein size. There are no clinincal studies to show that this works for veins and it is not FDA approved. I personally feel that you should see a vein specialist if you have vein issues.
