Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Antistax is an angioprotective (protecting the vascular wall) and venotonic (raising the tone of the vein wall) phytopreparation.
Pharmacological activity of the drug is provided by the presence of flavonoids (bioactive substances) in the extract of red leaves of grapes, which are mainly represented by Quercetin glucuronide and isokvetsetin.
The drug positively affects the elasticity of the vessels, normalizing their permeability, and by strengthening the membranes, protects their internal surface. Reducing the penetrating ability of the vascular wall slows the release of proteins, plasma and water into adjacent tissues and organs, which leads to a slowdown in the occurrence of edema, and also to a decrease in existing ones.
Antistax in the form of a spray is a cosmetic with a specially selected composition of ingredients that have a rapid cooling effect, which in combination with the effects of the extract of red leaves of the grapes reduces the feeling of fatigue and heaviness in the lower extremities.

Reviews about Antistax

If we talk about the drug in the form of capsules, then we can confidently state its good tolerability and practical absence of side effects, which is confirmed by numerous reviews about Antistax (Antistax) in medical forums.
Patients' opinions are divided approximately in half. Some argue that the result of Antistax therapy is extremely positive and fully meets all the requirements for the treatment and prevention of venous insufficiency. Others, on the contrary, do not perceive this phytopreparation as a medicine. Most likely, it depends on the individual susceptibility of the organism of each individual patient.
When searching for information about preparations for the treatment of venous insufficiency, it is often possible to come across disputes about what is better Antistax or Detralex (and other analogues). It is worth noting that although these drugs are analogs, they have different active substance. So Antistax better helps with prevention and in the initial stages of the disease, and Detralex in the treatment of chronic conditions. Often, a complex treatment with these and other drugs of this kind (at different stages of development of pathology) can give a better result than taking one medication.
Antistax gel and spray in 90% of cases receive positive feedback, both on user and professional forums.
