Has anyone here tried oxerutins (Paroven and Venoruton are two brand names) for POTS, ME, LC etc? It’s a synthetic form of rutin used for venous insufficiency. It reduces blood vessel permeability and improves small vessel blood flow. One pwME on Twitter reports reduced PEM with it.

1. WHAT PAROVEN CAPSULES ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE USED FOR
Paroven Capsules contain oxerutins as the active ingredient, which belongs to a group of medicines which act on small blood vessels (systemic vasoprotectors).
Paroven Capsules stabilise the vascular wall, which lead to a reduction in the permeability of the vessels and subsequently to a diminution of swelling (oedema).
Paroven Capsules relieve ankle swelling (oedema) due to chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). In patients with varicose veins and some other diseases of the leg veins, these small vessels have an excessive leakage which cause swelling of the ankles. Paroven Capsules also reduce this swelling and relieve the associated common symptoms such as aching, tired, heavy, swollen, painful and restless legs, pins and needles and night cramps.
It is recommended that such patients also wear elastic support (usually compression stockings) in CVI; in these cases, Paroven Capsules have been shown to produce additional benefit.
