Venarus today is one of the most popular venotonics among patients and doctors. Over the past five years, it has established itself as one of the most effective domestic drugs for the treatment of venous insufficiency. To increase compliance and therapeutic effect, an improved form of the drug was additionally developed, with a dosage of 1000 mg, of which 900 mg is the main active substance - diosmin.
Venarus contains two types of flavonoids - diosmin and hesperidin, which have an angioprotective effect, in addition, they improve microcirculation of the veins. The main indications include the presence of venous insufficiency, which manifests itself under the guise of the first stage of varicose veins. Venarus helps to increase the tone of vascular walls, eliminates venous congestion and capillary fragility, and improves local blood circulation.
Venarus also has an anti-inflammatory effect, reduces the severity of swelling, and eliminates pain in the legs. Diosmin and hesperdin have antioxidant properties, which have a beneficial effect on the condition of blood vessels and protect their walls from the aggressive effects of free radicals.

Component Properties
The substance hesperidin is a plant flavonoid that is found in the peel of citrus fruits. It helps strengthen the walls of blood vessels and normalize their permeability, improve the condition of capillaries, increase blood flow in the coronary vessels, lower blood pressure and prevent the development of bleeding. In addition, hesperidin is able to relax the smooth muscles of blood vessels, as well as the bile ducts. It helps in the treatment of atherosclerosis, mycoses, various ulcers, allergic reactions and tumors. It helps to significantly reduce allergic and asthmatic symptoms, has anticarcinogenic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In combination with diosmin, hesperidin has venotonic and angioprotective effects, reduces capillary permeability and the distensibility of veins, increasing their tone. The combined effect of these active components leads to a decrease in venous stagnation and normalization of the processes of lymphatic drainage and microcirculation.
Diosmin is a substance from the group of bioflavonoids. It has anti-inflammatory effects, improves lymphatic drainage (reduces lymphatic pressure, increases the frequency of contraction and tone of lymphatic capillaries, increases their functional density). In addition, diosmin reduces the migration of leukocytes into paravenous tissues and their adhesion to the walls of venous vessels, stabilizes microcirculation processes (reduces capillary permeability, increases their resistance). Diosmin has a phlebotonic effect (eliminates venous congestion, prevents excessive distensibility of vascular walls), increases oxygen diffusion and perfusion in skin tissues. This substance also helps to enhance the vasoconstrictor effect of adrenaline/norepinephrine, blocking the production of free radicals, the synthesis of prostaglandins and thromboxane.

Reviews
Patients who have taken this medication speak positively about it. According to reviews, Venarus has few contraindications and side effects, it is well tolerated by the body, does not provoke nausea and stool disorders, which is often observed when taking other medications. As for the therapeutic result, patients observed a significant decrease in fatigue in the legs, swelling caused by impaired venous blood flow, and a decrease in the size of varicose nodes.
Despite the visible effect, reviews note that this medicine helps fight varicose veins only in the early stages of the development of this disease. If a person has a severe stage of the disease, then in this case only surgical intervention can help get rid of the problem.

Venarus and Detralex: what to choose?
Today, pharmaceutical companies produce a huge number of drugs prescribed for venous insufficiency, however, Venarus and Detralex are most often compared. Since phlebologists often prescribe these particular drugs, the question of which one is better arises involuntarily.
These drugs can be compared quite often, even considering that they have the same composition - combinations of two flavonoids. Like Venarus, Detralex contains diosmin and hesperidin, but in the same concentration. The cost of the drugs is approximately the same, although Detralex is slightly more expensive because it is produced by the private French laboratory Servier.
Now attention should be paid to the effectiveness of the drugs. Since the composition of the products is the same, it is natural that the effectiveness of the drugs will not differ. However, most patients prefer to buy Detralex, believing that the manufacturer uses higher quality active ingredients.
It was also noted that Detralex has the ability to be absorbed more quickly due to a different manufacturing method. However, both drugs have identical effectiveness and side effects.
In general, these are the same drugs, differing in the country of manufacture and price category. As a rule, Venarus is prescribed as an analogue of Detralex, as a budget drug, but at the same time, effective.
