Vasculera

Vasculera is a prescription medical food product that is made from flavonoids with powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Vasculera brings back the natural balance of microcirculatory processes that can lead to manifestations of venous hypertension, venous acidosis (acidity in the blood) and inflammation that can lead to chronic venous disease (CVD).

What is Chronic Venous Disease (CVD)?

Veins bring blood back to the heart. Small valves in the vein make sure blood flows in one direction, but when they are damaged, blood flow decreases and can “pool” in the veins. When blood pools, it absorbs acidic metabolic waste products and makes the problem worse. Damaged veins that work improperly for long periods of time can cause CVD. Blood clots, obesity, smoking, muscle weakness, leg injury, and other risk factors can cause vein damage. Sitting or standing for a long time without moving can also cause problems in the leg veins. Symptoms of CVD include heavy legs, aching, swelling, discoloration of the skin and chronic hemorrhoids. Severe cases of CVD can lead to ulcers and deep vein thrombosis.

How soon will I feel or benefit from Vasculera?

Some patients experience a difference in leg tingling, discomfort, heaviness or edema within one week. Depending on the severity, it may take some patients for four to eight weeks to see differences in skin or vein appearance. For venous ulcers, patients may see benefits after several months. For hemorrhoids, patients may see benefits within days.

How to Use

The recommended intake of Vasculera (diosmiplex) is 1 tablet per day to address the changes on the biochemical pathway that could lead to varicose/spider veins, edema, stasis dermatitis and or venous ulcers. Benefits may appear in as little as one week, but may not be seen for 4-to-8 weeks, especially in patients who have progressed to venous ulcers. For chronic hemorrhoids, the recommended initial intake is one tablet three times daily for four days then one tablet twice daily for nine days followed by a maintenance intake of one tablet daily, or as directed by a physician. For hemorrhoidal flares, the recommended initial intake is one tablet three times daily for four days followed by one tablet twice daily for nine days, or as directed by a physician.

Side Effects

Commonly reported side effects of diosmin include lower gastrointestinal disturbances and headaches. These side effects were generally mild, and patients didn’t stop using the product.

Vasculera is not for patients with hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. Vasculera is not recommended for pregnant or lactating women. Drug interactions have been described with chlorzoxazone (Parafon Forte), diclofenac (Voltaren) and metronidazole (Flagyl).
