Daflon Tablet (Diosmin and Hesperidin) Used to Treat Varicose Veins, Hemorrhoids (Piles), and Lymphedema
Daflon Tablet contains Diosmin and Hesperidin, a combination used to improve blood circulation and support vein health. It is commonly used for treating varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency, piles (hemorrhoids), and leg swelling, helping reduce pain, heaviness, and discomfort in the legs.
Product Overview
Daflon Tablet is a venotonic medicine formulated with Diosmin and Hesperidin, two natural flavonoids that help strengthen blood vessels and improve venous tone. It works by enhancing blood flow in the veins and reducing inflammation in weakened or swollen veins.
Poor vein function can lead to conditions such as varicose veins, where veins become enlarged and twisted, causing pain, heaviness, and visible swelling in the legs. It is also widely used in the management of hemorrhoids (piles), where swollen veins in the rectal area cause pain, itching, and bleeding.

- Diosmin – Improves venous tone and supports healthy blood flow in veins
