Action of Detralex
The main component of the drug is diosmin. It belongs to the pharmacological group of venotonics and angioprotectors, that is, it protects blood vessels. A course of drug treatment can increase the tone of the veins. At the same time, their elasticity and extensibility decrease, they become more resistant to stress.
It has been proven that Detralex reduces the effect of red blood cells adhering to the vascular wall. This helps reduce the intensity of the inflammatory process in the veins. Detralex also has rapid absorption properties due to the unique processing of the drug, the so-called micronization. Any other analogue of Detralex for hemorrhoids does not have such a rapid onset of pharmacological activity. This means that the treatment of hemorrhoids will have a significantly greater therapeutic effect, and its duration will be noticeably reduced.
The composition of the drug Detrolex also contains the flavonoid hesperilin. It significantly enhances the therapeutic effect of diosmin and increases the stability of the vascular wall. It has been proven that the walls of capillaries and veins are significantly strengthened after using such tablets, and all the undesirable consequences of hemorrhoids disappear completely.
After entering the body, this drug is transformed into phenolic compounds. This process happens quite quickly. Its half-life is approximately 11 hours. Processing of the active component of such a drug occurs in the liver, metabolites are excreted in bile naturally. A small part of the active component is present in the urine.
A correctly calculated dose of this medication helps accelerate venous emptying, which reduces the likelihood of venous stagnation.
Current composition
Detralex is a complete combination drug created on the basis of active substances. It belongs to the pharmaceutical category of venotonics and angioprotectors. The basis for its production was two active substances that determine its pharmaceutical effect:
- diosmin is a flavonoid, extracted naturally from certain types of plants or synthetically, its merit is the venotonic and wound-healing properties of the drug;
- hesperdin is a flavonoid extracted from the peel of lemon or other citrus fruits, has a stimulating property, it enhances the natural effect of diosmin, and also has an antioxidant, bactericidal, antispasmodic and immunomodulatory effect on the body.
These tablets also contain excipients such as magnesium stearite, cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl starch, talc, and gelatin. Such substances are added to enhance the overall effect of the product and are added to the protective coating of the pills.

The drug has a venotonic and venoprotective effect. Thanks to this, the distensibility of the veins is reduced, blood stagnation in the veins is eliminated, the permeability properties of capillaries are reduced, and the properties of their resistance are increased.
While taking this drug, the venous wall of the hemorrhoid becomes elastic and elastic, which further improves the outflow of blood from the dilated vein and reduces the risk of bleeding.
Pharmacological properties:
- the constituent components of the product have a beneficial effect on the tone of the veins, and also improve the condition of hemorrhoids and prevent deterioration of the condition in the future;
- has a strengthening effect on the walls of veins;

Effect of the drug on hemorrhoids
Detralex tablets are often used for the prevention and treatment of hemorrhoids in men and women. In this case, the tablets help to quickly relieve pain, stop inflammation, reduce irritation and infections, however, the duration and final result of treatment will completely depend on the form of the disease, stage, complexity, and neglect. The gender, age category and health status of the patient are also taken into account.
Taking these tablets will help to quickly relieve the unpleasant symptoms of inflammation of the hemorrhoids, but for a full recovery, complex treatment and taking additional vitamins and immunomodulatory drugs will be required.
Detralex is considered an effective remedy for treating and reducing pain not only for initial hemorrhoids, but also for acute and chronic forms of the disease, however, in this case, treatment will take much longer, will have an increased dosage of the drug and should be carried out under the supervision of a doctor.
When to take medicine
It has a clearly expressed complex effect. Clinical studies show that the tablets can affect the disease and quickly promote recovery. The prognosis of the disease depends on how to take Detralex hemorrhoid pills. When the first signs appear, you must contact a specialist for a comprehensive diagnosis and prescribe an effective remedy.
The main problems that patients face when they develop inflammation of the hemorrhoids are the following:
- Painful sensations. They are especially evident in acute illness. And it makes no difference whether a person has an acute or chronic type of disease; the pain is sometimes so severe that it deprives him of sleep, he is depressed all day, and has reduced performance. The reason for all this is severe pain in the anal area. And since, due to false modesty, he does not want to see a doctor and does not try to tell others about it, the pain and decrease in quality of life only increases.
- Inflammatory process. It always accompanies the acute form of the disease. Sometimes the inflammation can be so severe that it prevents a person from having a normal bowel movement. First of all, the quality of life suffers from this: appetite and sleep disappear, and performance decreases sharply.
- Circulatory disorder. It occurs in the affected nodes and only aggravates the disease.
- Decreased tone of blood vessels in the rectum. This can also happen in the absence of an acute phase. If left untreated, hemorrhoids will soon develop into a stage at which prolapse of the rectum will occur.
Treatment for this insidious and dangerous disease must begin as early as possible. And first of all, for this you need to throw away shame. If you are late with this step, then only surgery can help a person in the terminal stages of the disease process.
Instructions and dosage regimen
The method of taking Detralex for hemorrhoids will be slightly different from other indications. The dosage and regimen of tablet use should be calculated individually by the attending physician and will completely depend on the form and complexity of the development of hemorrhoids:
- for simple hemorrhoids at the initial stage - the drug is taken internally, 1-2 tablets per day in the morning and evening with food, the course of treatment in this case can last from a week to several months;
- in the acute form of hemorrhoids - the dosage of taking tablets at the acute stage is increased to 6 pieces per day, divided into 3 doses, this regimen lasts the first 4 days, after subsequent days of therapy the dose is reduced to 4 pieces per day before or with food, course of treatment in such a case lasts several months;
- in the chronic form of hemorrhoids - in chronic external hemorrhoids, the drug is first taken as a standard 1-2 tablets per day, then the dose after a week increases to 4 tablets with breakfast and dinner, the course of treatment for the chronic form often takes 1-2 months and is repeated after a certain period.
It is worth considering that the treatment of chronic and acute hemorrhoids is a rather long and difficult process, which must be carried out under the supervision of the attending proctologist. The duration of taking the drug in each case is calculated individually.
When and how to take Detralex if you have hemorrhoids
Detralex: instructions for use for hemorrhoids indicate that it can be used for venous insufficiency, when a person feels pain and heaviness in the legs, especially if this happens at the end of the day. Drinking Detralex is also indicated for hemorrhoids, because this disease is a consequence of insufficiency of venous blood flow. Moreover, the doctor authorizes the medicine for both acute and chronic forms of hemorrhoids.
How to take Detralex for hemorrhoids? Usually the package contains detailed instructions, which indicate the dosage. This does not mean that you can buy Detralex tablets for hemorrhoids and start using it uncontrollably. Such a step can lead to side effects and exacerbations of chronic diseases.
It would be best if the patient consults a doctor for a comprehensive diagnosis of the body. In such cases, the proctologist will prescribe the patient to take pills according to an individual dosage. This regimen will be significantly effective and will protect a person from unwanted effects.
In most cases, for acute hemorrhoids, the course of treatment is at least a week. The doctor increases the dosage of the medicine, as it is important to achieve a quick effect and relieve unpleasant symptoms. For chronic hemorrhoids, treatment will be longer, although with a lower daily dosage.
If it happens that the expected effect is not present, there is no need to buy another package; the duration of use will not produce results. It is necessary to consult a doctor; it may be necessary to change the medicine or change the treatment regimen.
For chronic venous insufficiency, a prophylactic course of this medication is indicated. It is necessary to practice treatment periods twice a year. The peculiarities of taking Detralex are that during therapy it is necessary to maintain a drinking regime, fight excess weight, and consume a sufficient amount of food enriched with natural fiber. In the acute period, despite the fact that the dosage can be quite high, it is recommended to additionally use ointments, compresses and other medications.
When is Detralex prohibited?
First of all, this drug is contraindicated for anyone who has drug intolerance to diosmin and hesperidin. There are cases when a patient develops an allergy to auxiliary components such as gelatin or starch. In this case, the use of the medicine is prohibited.
There is currently no evidence that Detralex is safe during breastfeeding. By prescribing such a drug, the doctor may expose the child to significant risk. Therefore, if there is an urgent need to prescribe this particular drug to a woman, then he must warn her that she will need to stop breastfeeding for a while. After completion of therapy, it can be resumed.
Detralex during pregnancy for hemorrhoids is strictly contraindicated in the first trimester. It is allowed only in the third trimester. The patient must be under the supervision of a doctor, who also decides how long to take this medicine. In some cases, it is more appropriate to take rectal suppositories for hemorrhoids.
What you need to know about side effects
Like any other medicine, Detralex can cause side effects. Most often these are diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, headaches, dizziness. Sometimes an allergic rash may appear, accompanied by redness and itching of the skin. Then you should stop using the product and consult a doctor.
You need to be especially careful when treating hemorrhoids with Detralex during pregnancy. After all, if a woman drank it incorrectly, complications that could be dangerous to the health and life of the mother and child could develop. Sometimes, due to such complications, it was even necessary to terminate the pregnancy or miscarriages occurred.
Some side effects may go away on their own (for example, diarrhea or constipation). Since it is important to take Detralex correctly, provided that the patient follows all the doctor’s instructions and does not change the dosage on his own, it is quite possible that there may not be any unwanted effects.
If prolonged diarrhea occurs, you should stop taking the medication and treat the diarrhea, because it can cause severe dehydration.
Special instructions for use
If Detralex is prescribed for hemorrhoids, the dosage regimen is fundamental. If the patient changes it independently, skips the appointment time, etc., then there will be no effect.
Some special notes that must be taken into account in order to avoid undesirable consequences:
- Before you start taking the medicine, you should consult a specialist. You should additionally read the instructions for use of such a product if any doubts arise.
- If a doctor prescribes Detralex during an exacerbation of a pathological process, it is possible that additional medications against anorectal disorders may be required.
- All pharmacotherapeutic measures must be combined with a balanced diet. Prolonged standing on your feet should be avoided.
- If noticeable health problems occur frequently while taking Detralex, you should consult a doctor.
- To date, no harm has been proven from drinking alcoholic beverages during treatment. The patient should not form the idea that if I drink alcohol during treatment, then nothing will happen. Usually the therapeutic benefits of such a medicine disappear, so hemorrhoids will only get worse. Doctors do not recommend drinking alcohol with this disease.
- These tablets do not affect a person’s ability to drive a car or operate complex machinery. You need to be careful and not go on the road if unwanted symptoms appear.
- It is forbidden to use tablets after the expiration date.
- If after the recommended course of treatment the symptoms of hemorrhoids do not disappear, you should immediately consult a doctor.
Remember that self-medication can cause severe disruption of the body.
Features of taking suppositories

Side effects with this therapy are minimal. In rare cases, the patient may be bothered by such phenomena as a rash, burning in the area of application, and, extremely rarely, pain. If you are hypersensitive to the components of the suppositories, then it is better not to use them, but to consult a doctor who will prescribe another treatment.
In order for such a medicine to have maximum benefit, it must be used strictly as directed. The duration of the course of treatment is determined by the doctor. The candle is inserted into the anus. Their number may depend on the severity of the disease and the individual characteristics of the person.
During pregnancy, this form of treatment may be acceptable. Its feasibility is decided only by a doctor: if there are certain risks from suppositories, then they still should not be used.

Contraindications and precautions
Detralex is considered one of the most effective and fast-acting drugs for the treatment of hemorrhoids, however, despite its effectiveness, it, like most medications, has its own contraindications.
Cases where it is best to avoid taking this medication include:
- individual sensitivity and intolerance to components in the composition;
- age under 18 years;
- pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- serious pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas and large intestine.
It is best to discuss taking the drug during pregnancy with your doctor. In general, the drug is considered harmless and not hazardous to health. Over all this time, few cases of poisoning and overdose have been reported.
Compound
The use of Detralex for the treatment of hemorrhoids is justified by the unique composition of the drug. The composition of the medicine includes:
- Diosmin;
- Hesperdin;
- Magnesium Stereate;
- Gelatin;
- Glycerol;
- Hypomellosis;
- Titanium dioxide.
The active component is Diosmin (90%), which has a tonic effect on capillaries and blood vessels. Diosmin is a bioflavonoid that is extracted from the peel of citrus fruits, legumes or sophora flowers. The human body is not capable of synthesizing flavonoids, so their availability can only be achieved through food or in tablet form. Diosmin does not have a toxic effect even when using high doses of the drug. The active component strengthens the walls of veins, helps reduce their permeability, and increases elasticity. Diosmin prevents blood stagnation in blood vessels and increases local immunity. The component is micronized, which determines its rapid absorption into the blood. Due to this, the effect of the drug occurs faster than the effect of similar drugs.
Hesperdin (10%) is a flavonoid and its action is aimed at enhancing the effect of Diosmin. This ingredient prevents the adhesion of leukocytes to the endothelial wall, thereby reducing the negative impact of particles synthesized during the inflammatory process on the valve flaps of blood vessels and veins.
Additional components of the drug have medicinal properties. However, in some cases they can cause an allergic reaction from the body.
The drug is available only in tablet form. Take the tablets orally with water.
Negative consequences and effects
In some cases, with individual hypersensitivity and improper use of Detralex tablets, patients may experience disorders of the nervous system, digestion, and the functioning of the immune system.
The list of risks and side effects of the medication includes the following problems:
- diarrhea;
- diarrhea;
- nausea;
- headache;
- dizziness;
- colitis;
- dyspeptic reactions;
- redness, irritation and skin rashes;
- hives;
- swelling of the face and lips;
- angioedema.
Also, in some cases, patients may experience deterioration and exacerbation of hemorrhoidal disease. If any negative reactions or strange sensations are detected, it is recommended to avoid its use.
Use during pregnancy and lactation
As a rule, Detralex medicinal and prophylactic tablets are not recommended for use by pregnant and nursing mothers, but can still be prescribed by the attending physician in individual cases. There is no evidence that pregnant women undergoing treatment for hemorrhoids with Detralex experienced serious complications and no side effects were recorded. But it is still recommended not to exceed the standard dosage of 1-2 tablets per day, even in the acute form of the disorder.
It is best to limit all medications and preventive drugs of any group in the early stages of pregnancy; Detralex and other combination drugs can only be taken from 4-5 months of pregnancy.
No information was provided from the manufacturer about the effect of the drug on a woman’s fetus during pregnancy, as well as the penetration of the active ingredients into milk, so there is every reason to believe that the tablets do not harm either the child or the nursing mother. However, the mechanism of action of tablets on the body of a pregnant woman has not yet been fully studied.

Reviews
Alexey, 28 years old
When the doctor discovered that I had chronic hemorrhoids, I didn’t believe it at first, because I had never had any special problems with my stool. Therefore, at first I refused to undergo treatment, I did not see the need for it, because nothing hurt. Where did he get this from? Only a couple of months later the pain came with triple strength, hemorrhoids the size of beans appeared, and even blood appeared when going to the toilet. Only then did I begin to sound the alarm and began treatment. I bought the much-vaunted drug Detralex and took it for a week before the first improvements appeared.
The bleeding disappeared after a couple of days, and with it the pain. The remaining symptoms disappeared gradually as they approached the end of the course. The full course took me about two months, but I definitely need to take breaks.
Tatyana, 49 years old
I remember when I had internal hemorrhoids, I immediately went to the doctor. It was terribly uncomfortable and embarrassing, but the pain and bleeding from “one place” made me overcome the shame. The doctor immediately discovered the cause and form of the disease and said that it was all due to excess weight and a sedentary lifestyle. He prescribed me Detralex tablets. I saw them in advertisements more than once, so I immediately agreed to take the branded medicine.
I can say that the tablets are very good, it’s not for nothing that they are praised and advertised. The first symptom that went away was bleeding. Gradually the stinging and pain calmed down, irritation and burning went away. But you need to take the full course in order not only to relieve the symptoms, but also to restore the intestinal walls.
Olga, 34 years old
I have never had such problems, even with the chair everything was always fine. I only developed hemorrhoids when I was 6 months pregnant. The illness was very difficult to bear during pregnancy and did not leave until the birth of the child. Then the treatment became more effective, because I fed the baby not with breastfeeding, but with a special formula. It was possible to take potent drugs. I immediately bought Detralex tablets, took two courses in a row, and combined them with heparin ointment.
When the pain and unpleasant sensation of the anus bulging passed, I simply beamed with joy. Finally, the drug brought long-awaited relief. Only the doctor told me that to prevent the pills, I need to take another course periodically.
Composition and pharmacological properties
Detralex is a complex medication that has a pronounced angioprotective and venotonic effect.
This product contains two active ingredients: hesperidin and diosmin. These components help to quickly relieve inflammation and swelling, improve blood circulation, heal affected areas of vessel walls, strengthen capillaries and increase venous tone. At the very beginning of use, pain and discomfort are eliminated, and at the end of the course of the drug, swelling and bleeding from inflamed hemorrhoids completely disappear. The particles of the drug tablets are micronized, that is, they have the form of tiny grains. This property allows medicinal components to be absorbed through the walls of the gastrointestinal tract in the shortest possible time with the subsequent manifestation of effective medicinal properties.
To fully understand the pharmacological action, it is necessary to consider in detail the properties of its active ingredients.
Diosmin
The main property of this substance is the return of natural tone to the veins. In most cases, it is the weakness of the wall of the venous vessel that is the main cause of hemorrhoids, especially in people with a predisposition to varicose veins. Diosmin makes the vessel lining more elastic and resilient, strengthening it, which in turn has a positive effect on blood circulation and elimination of inflammation.
This component also has angioprotective properties, which can significantly reduce the permeability of capillary walls. As a result, microcirculation of blood and lymph and their outflow from problematic hemorrhoids improves.
Hesperidin
The flavonoid hesperidin significantly enhances the effect of diosmin due to its own ability to strengthen the walls of blood vessels, as well as increase their resistance to various unfavorable substances that are released during the inflammatory process. As a result of the action of this component, the vessels become stronger and less susceptible to external irritants, which helps improve blood circulation, quickly eliminate inflammation, swelling and stop bleeding.
