Detralex and Venarus are preparations for vein treatment. They are available in the form of tablets. To say what is better with varicose veins is not so simple. The drugs are similar, have equally good effect and are in fact complete analogues. Next, consider the effects of these drugs, their similarities and some differences, although they are very few.
Both drugs can be prescribed to you by the therapist( for prophylaxis of venous diseases), phlebologist( with varicose veins) or proctologist( with hemorrhoids).
Active ingredients
These drugs contain 2 active substances: hesperidin and diosmin.
Hesperidin is a bioflavonoid that tones veins, strengthens their walls, thereby eliminating the symptoms of varicose veins. Apply it for varicose of any type, as well as for hemorrhoids, as it is also caused by the expansion of veins.
Diosmin is a substance from the group of flavonoids. It increases the venous tone, narrows the pathologically enlarged veins, improves the outflow of venous blood. It also improves the flow of lymph, strengthens the capillaries and stimulates microcirculation in them.
These substances are similar in their effect. In combination, they increase the effectiveness of each other and provide prevention and treatment of the initial stage of varicose veins and hemorrhoids.
The only difference is that in Detralex, unlike Venarus, the diosmin is present in micronized form, which allows it to be absorbed more quickly. Accordingly, and the effect of Detralex comes in a shorter time than from Venarus.
