Diosmin for Varicose Veins & Leg Swelling
A board-certified guide to strengthening vein walls, improving circulation, and reducing leg heaviness.
What is Diosmin?
Diosmin is a natural flavonoid derived from citrus fruits that is widely used to support vein health and improve lower-extremity circulation. It works by strengthening capillary walls, reducing inflammation in the veins, and improving lymphatic drainage. For patients with varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency, or leg swelling, diosmin can reduce the feeling of heaviness, fatigue, and discomfort that worsens after standing or sitting for long periods.

Key benefits
Strengthen vein walls
Diosmin reinforces capillary and venous tone, making veins less prone to stretching and leakage.
Reduce leg swelling
Improved lymphatic drainage and microcirculation help reduce edema and ankle puffiness.
Ease heaviness & fatigue
Many patients report lighter, more comfortable legs after several weeks of consistent use.
Support post-procedure recovery
Diosmin is often recommended after vein procedures to minimize bruising and speed healing.
For best results, pair diosmin with daily walking, leg elevation when resting, and graduated compression stockings. Avoid prolonged sitting or standing when possible. Our handout includes a full dosing guide (typically 500 mg twice daily), timing recommendations, and a daily checklist to keep your leg care routine on track.
