Hi,

Daflon acts by improving peripheral venous congestion & circulation as well as an anti-inflammatory effect. So it helps in treating cellulitis secondary to varicose veins/hemorrhoids.

It can be taken for 15 days to tieve the cellulitis & needs treating doctors advise to take it for a longer time(to get investigated (USG) & perfectly diagnosed for change in medication as percause.

Control of diabetes is gone considered at this stage as a factor in nonhealing.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
