Diosmin

Abstract

Diosmin was separated from the root of Scrophularia nodosa L., which is applied to treat fever, polydipsia, maculitis, gingivitis, amygdalitis, laryngopharyngitis, acute lymphadenitis, etc. Diosmin is a micronized, purified, flavonoid-structure drug and used as the protecting agent for blood vessel and therapeutic agent for chronic venous disease. It is helpful for lymphatic return and stimulating microcirculation, thus treating hemorrhoids and venous dysfunction by increasing the venous tension. Moreover, the adverse reaction was seldom observed. Thus, it would have great significance in clinical therapy if the application field of diosmin could be enlarged. With further development in its clinical application, the use of diosmin would have a bright future.
