Diosmin (diosmetin 7-O-rutinoside), a flavone glycoside of diosmetin, is manufactured from citrus fruit peels as a non-prescription dietary supplement used to aid treatment of hemorrhoids or chronic venous diseases, mainly of the legs.[1]

Uses

Diosmin is a dietary supplement used to aid treatment of hemorrhoids and venous diseases, i.e., chronic venous insufficiency including spider and varicose veins, leg swelling (edema), stasis dermatitis and venous ulcers.[1] A 2016 Cochrane review found only moderate-quality evidence that diosmin or other compounds called phlebotonics improved leg and ankle swelling and lower leg pain.[2]

Its mechanism of action is undefined,[1] and clinical evidence of benefit is limited.[1] Diosmin is not recommended for treating the rectal mucosa, skin irritations, or wounds, and should not be used to treat dermatitis, eczema, or urticaria.[1] Diosmin is not recommended for use in children or women during pregnancy.[1]

Adverse effects

In some 10% of users, diosmin causes mild gastrointestinal disorders or skin irritations (hives, itching), stomach pain, nausea, heart arrhythmias, or anemia.[1] Preliminary research indicates there is no indication of toxicity.[1] The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concluded in 2001 that there was inadequate evidence on which to base an expectation of safety.[3] As of 2013, the FDA did not revise this position.[4]

Regulatory status

Diosmin is distributed in the U.S. as a dietary supplement called Daflon.[1] Diosmin or any phlebotonic agent is not approved as a prescription drug in the United States or Europe.[1]

Diosmiplex

Micronized purified flavonoid fraction (generic name diosmiplex, commercial name Vasculera)[5] is a 2nd generation diosmin classified as a medical food by the FDA in the United States for the potential treatment of chronic venous insufficiency.[6] Diosmiplex is the only phlebotonic, as of 2017, sold as a medical food product purported for the management of chronic venous insufficiency.[5] Diosmiplex is recommended by the American Working Group in Chronic Venous Disease as a medical therapy, alone or combined with compressive therapy, for chronic venous disease and venous ulcers, having "beneficial outcomes without serious adverse events", concurring with the previous guidance of the International European Society for Vascular Surgery.[5]
