Index
It is used for the short-term relief (two to three months) of edema and symptoms associated with chronic venous insufficiency (pain, weight in the legs, swelling, etc.).
Venosmil or hydrosmin (due to its active component) is a drug belonging to the group of flavonoids and acts on the effects of venous blood stasis in the veins of the lower limbs (known as venous insufficiency), generally due to varicose veins or thrombosis old venous.
Pharmacodinámica
The active element of the drug is hydrosmin, whose chemical properties allow it to be classified as a flavonoid. It is a standard mixture containing the components of 5,3’mono-O- (β-hydroxyethyl) -diosmin and 5,3′-di-O- (β-hydroxyethyl) -diosmin.
The medicinal effect of hydrosol has not yet been thoroughly studied. Still, an interrelation with the decrease in catecholamine degradation can be observed, mainly due to the inhibition of catechol-O-methyltransferase activity.
While it has not yet been possible to determine the therapeutic effect of the drugs, it is still possible to identify the four basic properties provided by hydro mine:
- Strengthen the strength of the capillary walls, the permeability of which can be caused by the action of bradykinin with histamine. In addition, the substance prevents capillary fragility, which can develop with the wrong nutritional regimen.
- We are improving erythrocyte hemorheological parameters, reducing blood viscosity, and increasing the ability of erythrocytes to deform.
- Influence concerning the vasomotor tone and gradual stimulation of permanent contractions of smooth muscles in the region of the venous wall.
- Creation of optimal conditions to improve lymphoid circulation processes. Hydrosmin causes an expansion of the lymphatic ducts and, together with it, increases the speed of their movement, which enhances lymphatic drainage.
Venosmil improves the clinical manifestations of peripheral vein deficiency (feeling of heaviness or pain and swelling). Undoubtedly, the drug’s active element significantly affects the venous stasis complications caused by varicose vascular dilation in the leg region.
