OBJECTIVE

To evaluate physicians’ compliance with diosmin instructions and patients’ adherence to treatment, as well as to evaluate the prevalence of symptoms of chronic vein diseases (CVD) and the dynamics of their severity in the background of therapy.

MATERIAL AND METHODS. A

Prospective multicenter non-interventional (observational) study was carried out to evaluate the results of 600 mg diosmin administration during 2 months in patients over 18 years of C1—C3 CVD classes under CEAP with subjective symptoms. The proportion of patients to whom the drug was administered according to the recommended regimen was estimated. Patient’s adherence to and satisfaction with therapy were determined on the basis of a questionnaire. Objective and subjective symptoms of CVD were fixed, their severity was changed on the background of therapy. The frequency of undesirable phenomena was recorded.

THE RESULTS

Included in the study are 2013 patients: 1551 women and 462 men. The main pattern of administration was taking 1 tablet once a day (1964 patients). The recommendation to take 1 tablet 2 times a day was given to 49 (2.4%) patients. The recommended duration of administration ranged from 4 to 18 weeks, with 1795 patients (89.2%) receiving the course at 8 weeks. By the second visit, 9.7% of patients missed an average of 2.2±1.3 doses, and by the third visit — 2.4±1.6 doses were missed by 8.3% of patients. Expression of the CVD symptom-complex (all symptoms in total) before treatment was 6.0±1.85 points, at the second visit — 4.2±1.65, at the third visit — 2.3±1.60 points. In 1 month of treatment 10.6% reported complete disappearance of subjective symptoms, in 2 months — 225 (11.4%). The satisfaction with the therapy was high. Unwanted events were registered in 1.99% of patients, while a clear or possible relationship with the drug was established in 0.55% of cases.

CONCLUSIONS

The vast majority of doctors recommend diosmin according to the instructions for its use. Taking the drug in a dose of 600 mg/day leads to a decrease in the severity of subjective symptoms and swelling. Patients’ adherence to and satisfaction with the therapy is high.
