Characteristic
The drug is one of the angioprotective and venotonic drugs. This means that it helps to restore the disturbed activity of the veins, lowers the permeability of the vascular walls, and increases tone. Thanks to these features, Detralex is successfully used in the treatment of diseases such as hemorrhoids, varicose veins and thrombophlebitis.
Detralex contains five natural flavonoid components. The main component is diosmin. These substanceshave a tonic effect on the veins. They reduce their extensibility, improve drainage, reduce the permeability of the vascular walls, strengthen the ability of capillaries to maintain integrity during mechanical action, and reduce the possibility of congestion.

This helps to reduce the negative impact of inflammatory mediators on venous valves and vascular walls. As a result, the condition of the veins normalizes, or varicose veins develop, which is characterized by increased fatigue of the lower extremities and swelling, slows down. Feedback on the use of Detralex confirms this.
