Product Description

Flavonoid glycoside. Main component in citrus fruits. Phlebotropic drug used to control internal symptoms of hemorrhoids and in the treatment of venous diseases. Prolongs the vasoconstrictor effect of noradrenaline on the vein wall. Reduces venous hyperpressure. Reduces capillary hyperpermeability and the expression of endothelial adhesion molecules (ICAM1, VCAM1). Effectively inhibits the P-glycoprotein (Pgp)-mediated efflux in cells. Anti-inflammatory. Inhibits lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endothelial cytotoxicity.
