Daflon 500 mg - film-coated tablets

The substances contained in Daflon 500 mg film-coated tablets act on the large veins and the fine hair vessels.

Application

1. What are Daflon 500 mg film-coated tablets and what are they used for?

The substances contained in Daflon 500 mg film-coated tablets act on the large veins and the fine hair vessels. They reduce both the excessive distensibility and the pathologically increased permeability of the vessel walls for blood fluid. At the same time, the capacity of the veins for blood is reduced. This prevents the symptoms of blood congestion, such as a feeling of heaviness or pain in the legs or calf cramps occurring at night.

At the same time, complaints caused by haemorrhoids are also favourably influenced.

Application
Discomfort caused by chronic venous disorders of the legs, especially heaviness, pain and nightly calf cramps.

Discomfort caused by haemorrhoids.

If you do not feel better or even worse, consult your doctor.
