Daflon 500mg tracking thread
Re: Daflon 500mg tracking thread
Daflon:
Dosing & Route of administration
ORAL
- Two tablets per day: 1 tablet at noon and 1 tablet in the evening.
- Hemorrhoidal Crisis: 6 tablets per day for 4 days, then 4 tablets per day for 3 days.
The innovation with Daflon 500 consists of the micronization of its active constituent from particles of 30-80 microns to particles of <2 microns. This new and optimized form allows Daflon 500 to increase venous tone from the first 2-tab dose by the 1st hour and provides Daflon 500 with added clinical efficacy.
Actions:
*Daflon 500 is a phlebotonic drug and a vascular protecting agent. The efficacy of Daflon 500 is accounted for by its specific action on the principal elements of venous disease. Daflon 500 is phlebotonic: It reinforces venous tone by prolonging the activity of parietal noradrenaiine. Thus, Daflon 500 decreases venous capacitance, venous distensibility and venous emptying time.
*Daflon 500 protects the microcirculation by fighting the microcirculation-damaging process; it combats venous inflammation by decreasing leukocyte activation, and as a consequence, by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators, principally free radicals and prostaglandins. Thus, Daflon 500 normalizes capillary permeability and strengthens capillary resistance.
*Daflon 500 acts on the lymphatic system: It improves lymphatic drainage by increasing lymph flow and lymph oncotic pressure. This action on the lymphatic system associated with a phlebotonic and vasculoprotective effect, explains the activity of Daflon 500 on CVI-associated edema.
Double-blind, placebo-controlled studies have demonstrated Daflon 500's efficacy on chronic venous insufficiency. Daflon 500 significantly improves disabling symptoms of venous insufficiency which affect everyday active life: Heavy legs, pain, heat sensation, edema, functional impairment, nocturnal cramps and restless legs. In addition to conventional compression therapy, Daflon 500 has also demonstrated to cure 3 times as many venous leg ulcers as placebo and to accelerate their complete healing.

DOSAGE IN THIS STUDY 3-500mg every 8 hours
Methods: A group of 90 patients with severe venous hypertension due to chronic venous insufficiency, ankle swelling, and lipodermatosclerosis were included. After informed consent, patients were randomized into a Venoruton and a Daflon (DF) group: patients in the Venoruton group received oral HR (2 g/day for 8 weeks); those in the Daflon group received three 500-mg tablets daily every 8 hours. The two groups were comparable for age and sex distribution. The mean age was 41 years (SD ± 11) in the Venoruton group (46 patients) and 41.3 (SD ± 12) in the DF group (44 patients).

Re: Daflon 500mg tracking thread
Given this study, would using Venoruton instead of Daflon be an option?? It looks to be available onlinedania wrote:http://cpt.sagepub.com/content/7/3/139.abstract

Re: Daflon 500mg tracking thread
Daflon arrived today. Will take two a day and see what happens.
Re: Daflon 500mg tracking thread
A few days ago I sent an email to the makers of Daflon asking if they had done any testing on Daflon with regards to CCSVI. They sent me this very nice reply:
"Dear Sir,
I thank you very much for the interest you have for our product, as this was related to us by our Uruguayan colleagues.
Unfortunately we do not have any experience with Daflon 500 in cerebrospinal insufficiency and are not able to answer your question.
However we understand why you were interested in such an indication since you probably refer to the still controversial theory that multiple sclerosis and cerebrospinal insufficiency might have an origin based on cerebral venous insufficiency. Nevertheless, we cannot give you any opinion or indication about such application and therefore, ethically speaking, we will not recommend the use of Daflon 500 mg in such a so specific pathology."

Re: Daflon 500mg tracking thread
You should write back to thank them, but explain that you are not looking for their advice just that this may be another use for their drug that they should look into. Market potential = $1 Billion per year. The clinical trial would be so simple. No need to bother with imaging studies or sham surgery. Just start with a small placebo-controlled study measuring QOL and go from there.
Re: Daflon 500mg tracking thread
Hi PointsNorth,
I'm not sure what to think about Venoruton vs Daflon. So, for the time being, I'm going to try Daflon because of the animal study by Dr. Bergan et al that showed Daflon reduced adhesion molecules and leukocytes and reduced valvular remodeling.
Regarding remodeling: I forget in which thread this was discussed, but Cece made a comment about if remodeling is what I think it is (or something similar). In all my research, valvular remodeling in veins (and arteries) refers to pathological changes, mostly due to effects of inflammation: stiffening of leaflets, overgrowth of cusps and leaflets, and shortening of the annulus.

Re: Daflon 500mg tracking thread
Thanks HP,
I will look at Purchasing some. I think I read on Daflon website that it takes 1-2 months to see results so I look forward to updates on this thread in the coming weeks!

Re: Daflon 500mg tracking thread
I was on Daflon exactly 60 days - March and April 2011 (2x a day). I felt absolutely nothing so I stopped. It was original from the Pharmacy. I paid one part and my Health Insurance Company paid for the second part.PointsNorth wrote:Thanks HP,

But maybe it helps some patients. I do not know...

If the informal study at this thread shows promise I'll do that.Jugular wrote:You should write back to thank them, but explain that you are not looking for their advice just that this may be another use for their drug that they should look into.

Re: Daflon 500mg tracking thread
It requires a prescription here, although the article from the pharmacy also mentioned eating a low-fat diet and avoiding pork to help. I'd like to try it but it will be a while.
