Diosmin

Flavonoid Glycoside

Diosmin is a diosmetin glycoside used in venous-disease products. Its absorption depends on microbial deglycosylation and formulation, so diosmin, diosmetin, and micronized flavonoid mixtures are not interchangeable.

Pharmacokinetic model

A route-level PK model for diosmin is being prepared from published data. Dosing references, studies, and documented interactions are below; the app catalog is updated as models are validated.

    After oral diosmin, investigators found no detectable parent in plasma but did detect its aglycone diosmetin, with a reported 26 to 43-hour elimination half-life. The study supports presystemic conversion, not a simple…
