Description
Daflon 500mg tablets are commonly prescribed for the treatment of haemorrhoids (piles) and varicose veins. They work by improving blood circulation in the veins, reducing swelling, and restoring normal vein function. By strengthening blood vessel walls, Daflon helps to relieve pain, heaviness, and discomfort caused by poor vein health.
You should always take Daflon 500mg exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, but it is important to continue the treatment for the recommended duration. Stopping the medication too early may cause symptoms to return or worsen. If you are taking other medicines, inform your doctor, as they may interact with Daflon and affect its effectiveness.
Some common side effects of Daflon 500mg include abdominal pain, headache, nausea, and diarrhoea. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if they persist or cause significant discomfort, contact your doctor immediately. Since diarrhoea can occur while taking this medicine, drinking plenty of fluids can help prevent dehydration.
For the best results, Daflon should be combined with healthy lifestyle changes. Reducing smoking, maintaining a balanced diet rich in fibre, drinking enough water, and staying physically active can significantly improve vein health and help manage piles and varicose veins more effectively.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have kidney or liver problems, consult your doctor before starting Daflon 500mg tablets. Always follow your doctor’s advice closely to ensure safe and effective treatment. With the right medical guidance and lifestyle modifications, Daflon can help restore healthier vein function and reduce discomfort caused by piles and varicose veins.
