Medical Description

Macroid tablet is a combination medicine that contains diosmin and hesperidin as its main active ingredients. It is a flavonoid-based medicine used to improve vein tone and circulation. It is used to treat conditions like haemorrhoids (piles) and varicose veins, which are both caused by swollen and twisted veins. By improving the blood flow in these veins, Macroid helps to restore their proper function and can relieve symptoms such as pain, itching, and swelling.

You should take Macroid tablet exactly as your doctor has prescribed, and for the full duration they have recommended. This medicine is intended for short-term use. You can take it with or after a meal for better absorption and results. If you happen to miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's almost time for your next scheduled dose, you should skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

While you are taking Macroid, it is also important to make certain lifestyle changes to help manage your condition. Try to eat a diet rich in fibre, and drink plenty of water to avoid constipation. Avoid sitting on the toilet for too long to avoid straining during bowel movements. You can also find relief from pain by taking warm baths, and it is recommended to avoid wearing tight clothing.

If your symptoms don't improve after 15 days of taking Macroid, you should consult your doctor. Also, if you experience any serious side effects like continuous abdominal pain or an abnormal heart rhythm, you should seek immediate medical attention. Remember to inform your doctor about all the medicines, supplements, or herbal products you are currently taking to avoid any potential interactions.

Quick Tips

  • Do not exceed the recommended dose or treatment duration.
  • Make lifestyle changes to support the treatment, such as eating a high-fibre diet and drinking plenty of water.
  • Avoid alcohol, spicy foods, and sitting for long periods to help manage your condition.
  • See a doctor rather than continuing on your own if you have bleeding from the back passage, particularly if it is new, repeated, mixed with the stool, or accompanied by a change in bowel habit or weight loss. Bleeding has causes that need ruling out.
  • A high-fibre diet, plenty of water and not straining or sitting for long on the toilet do as much for the underlying problem as the tablet does.

  • Take it with food if it upsets your stomach. Nausea and indigestion are the usual complaints and are less likely with a meal.
  • This is a short-course treatment. If your symptoms keep returning once you stop, that needs assessment rather than repeat courses bought on your own.

Macroid Tablets increase the tone of venous blood vessels and increase resistance in small blood vessels and protect the veins. It also improves venous circulation which helps in reducing pain and swelling associated with haemorrhoids and other venous circulatory disorders. Hesperidin is a flavonoid that, along with Diosmin helps in improving symptoms of disturbed venous circulation like haemorrhoids and varicose veins.

  • Some medicines can affect the way Macroid Tablet works or this medicine itself can reduce the effectiveness of other medicines taken at the same time.
  • Tell your doctor about all the medicines, supplements or herbals you are currently taking or might take to avoid any possible interaction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Any new, repeated or unexplained bleeding should be assessed, and especially if it is mixed through the stool, comes with a change in bowel habit, abdominal pain, weight loss or tiredness, or if you are over 40. Several conditions cause rectal bleeding and they need telling apart before treatment.
It is intended for short courses and you should discuss with your doctor if there is no improvement after about two weeks. It should not be continued indefinitely or restarted repeatedly without review.
It works on the tone and permeability of vein walls, so it helps releving the symptoms, but it does not remove the cause. Constipation, straining, prolonged standing or sitting, weight and pregnancy all be the causative factors, and addressing those is what prevents recurrence.
Ask your doctor. These symptoms are common in pregnancy, but a medicine should not be started in pregnancy or while breastfeeding without medical advice, and non-drug measures are usually tried first.
Most people tolerate it well, with nausea, indigestion or loose stools being the usual complaints. Stop and seek advice if you develop a rash, itching, swelling of the face or lips, or difficulty breathing, which suggest an allergic reaction.
You should take Macroid for as long as the doctor has prescribed you. The doctor will decide the specific dose for a specific duration depending upon the severity of the condition. Do not exceed the maximum daily doses and treatment durations recommended.
