What Is Diosmin And Hesperidin?

Diosmin is derived from hesperidin, both of which come from citrus plants and belong to flavonoids. Pharmaceutical factories often mix hesperidin and diosmin as a tropic drug formulation, which means that this substance is good for the structure of blood vessels. Some companies convert part of hesperidin to diosmin and sell a combination product containing 90% diosmin and 10% hesperidin. Although this formula needs to be obtained by prescription in some European countries, diosmin and hesperidin are sold in the market in the form of tonic health products elsewhere.

Studies have confirmed that diosmin and hesperidin can interfere with arachidonic acid metabolism and histamine release. This flavonoid also inhibits thromboxane and prostaglandin activation. These activities prevent inflammatory reactions and are therefore believed by some to reduce allergic reactions. Doctors often recommend diosmin and hesperidin to patients with hemorrhoids. Patients taking this combination formula feel pain, swelling and itching significantly reduced.
