daflon. For the Relief and Prevention of Hemorrhoid disease.
How does daflon work?
daflon is a convenient oral venoactive treatment that tackles the root problem of Hemorrhoids by directly acting on the veins which have become dilated and inflamed during a Hemorrhoidal episode, 1 effectively treating the disease by reducing its associated signs and symptoms.
For long-term management of Hemorrhoids, daflon strengthens the overall tone of your veins, helps to improve blood flow, as well as reduces venous congestion. 1
Formulated for Fast Absorption and Relief
daflon is a clinically proven, effective and discrete oral treatment derived from natural ingredients and specially formulated for maximum absorption. 1
This improved absorption means that daflon can rapidly reach the affected veins to efficiently reduce the duration, intensity and recurrence of Hemorrhoid episodes.
In addition, there are different dosing options for fast-acting treatment of acute episodes and ongoing maintenance for recurring Hemorrhoid Disease. 2
Rapid Relief
daflon is clinically proven to quickly and effectively treat Hemorrhoidal episodes for rapid relief. 1,2 In just two days, 42% of users demonstrated a reduction in their symptoms and in only three days, 80% reported that their bleeding had stopped. After a single week, most people reported that their symptoms, including bleeding, pain and discharge, had resolved.
daflon can also be used for up to two months to treat chronic and recurring Hemorrhoids. With just one tablet a day, 71% of users reported fewer instances of acute episodes. 5

Why you should treat continuously
Although Hemorrhoid Disease can be treated, it is known to be a progressive inflammatory condition which can recur at anytime. In fact, 1 in 4 patients have shown to experience Hemorrhoids again within 7 months of a resolved episode. 7
daflon is a venoactive drug treatment recommended for the treatment of all grades of Hemorrhoid Disease. 1 By treating early and regularly with daflon, you can help prevent the recurrence of acute Hemorrhoid episodes and reduce the severity of symptoms. 5

Naturally sourced, scientifically prepared.
The active ingredient in daflon is a micronise purified flavonoid fraction (MPFF) 6 containing 90% diosmin and 10% other flavonoids expressed as hesperidin.
daflon’s flavonoids are extracted from immature oranges that are rich in these naturally occurring plant chemicals. The compounds undergo a process of purification and refinement where the particles collide with each other at high speeds (micronisation), reducing them to tiny particles, less than 2 μm in size (micronise). These smaller particles are absorbed twice as easily by the body and are a key ingredient of daflon’s success as a treatment for improving vein health and tone in Chronic Venous Insufficiency and Hemorrhoids. 6
