Hydroxyethylrutoside
Encyclopedia
Hydroxyethylrutosides are hydroxyethyl acetylations of rutoside. It may refer to :
Oxerutins are semisynthetic derivative of plant constituents. Although they are closely related to the natural flavonoid rutin
, hydroxyethylrutosides are not found in food. The only way to take them is in a supplement.
and hypertensive microangiopathy. Oxerutins works by reducing leakage from the small blood vessels (capillaries).
Hydroxyethylrutosides have been used as an alternative to horse chestnut preparations (venostasin) containing aescin
. Typical doses are in the order of 1,000 mg/day.
Effects of hydroxyethylrutosides against adriamycin-induced toxicity have been investigated in rats.

Health benefits
Relvène (1967 French version), Venoruton (1962 Swiss version), and Paroven are mixtures of hydroxyethyl rutinosides. Hydroxyethylrutosides are used in the treatment of chronic venous insufficiencyChronic venous insufficiency
Chronic venous insufficiency or CVI is a medical condition where the veins cannot pump enough oxygen-poor blood back to the heart. It is sometimes referred to as an "impaired musculovenous pump", this is due to damaged or "incompetent" valves as may occur after deep vein thrombosis or phlebitis...

Aescin
Aescin or escin is a mixture of saponins with anti-inflammatory, vasoconstrictor and vasoprotective effects found in Aesculus hippocastanum . Aescin is the main active compound in horse chestnut, and is responsible for most of its medicinal properties.High-quality evidence suggests aescin is a safe...
