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.

Wow.
To quote the end of the Lancet article, "we believe
that its characteristics are now sufficiently clear to differentiate it from
poliomyelitis, epidemic myalgia, glandular fever, the forms of epidemic
encephalitis already described and, need it be said, hysteria".
The concluding phrase seems a non sequitur. The case for hysteria was
not examined in the article: indeed it received no consideration apart from
this summary dismissal. The case is, in fact, well worth examining.

Hello BlueSky! It feels rather strange to be introducing myself, as most of the folks who have found me here already know me. I am a historian of technology with a background in animal science, former horse trainer, and have been dubbed #TheGlutamateBoss
