Hesperidin methyl chalcone is a flavonoid derivative commonly used in Europe, particularly in combination with other flavonoids, for the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency and related conditions, including phlebitis. Its use is grounded in a moderate body of scientific evidence, particularly from clinical trials and pharmacological studies. Hesperidin methyl chalcone exhibits anti-inflammatory, venotonic, and capillary-protective properties. It is believed to reduce capillary permeability, strengthen blood vessel walls, and inhibit inflammatory mediators, which can help alleviate symptoms associated with phlebitis, such as pain, swelling, and edema. Several clinical studies, including randomized controlled trials, have demonstrated the efficacy of hesperidin methyl chalcone (often in combination with diosmin or other flavonoids) in improving symptoms of venous disorders. For example, a number of European studies have shown reductions in leg swelling and discomfort in patients with chronic venous insufficiency and superficial phlebitis when treated with flavonoid complexes containing hesperidin methyl chalcone. However, most studies focus on chronic venous insufficiency, with fewer trials specifically on phlebitis. Overall, while the evidence is not definitive and most robust for chronic venous insufficiency rather than phlebitis specifically, there is moderate scientific support for its use in managing symptoms related to venous inflammation. The safety profile is generally favorable, but hesperidin methyl chalcone should be considered an adjunct to, rather than a substitute for, standard medical treatment of phlebitis.
