In my home country my doctor gave me Detralex which contains diosmina + hesperidina. I had problmes with me swollen feet and my veins. The problem is that I moved to the USA and I can not find a related drug. Would you be so kind and help me? Thank you!

To the original poster, Rifaximin (or Rifiaximina) is an antibiotic that treats traveler's diarrhea caused by a bacteria called Escherichia coli. It is also used to prevent hepatic encephalopathy, which is a condition that occurs when your liver does not work normally.
You can learn more about this drug on the page for Rifaximin Details
In regards to Hesperidin and Diosmin:
"Hesperidin and Diosmin are plant chemicals that are both classified as a “bioflavonoid.†Bioflavonoids are found primarily in citrus fruits. People use it as medicine.
*(Following information also applies to Diosmin)*
Hesperidin alone, or in combination with other citrus bioflavonoids (diosmin, for example), is most often used for blood vessel conditions such as hemorrhoids, varicose veins, and poor circulation (venous stasis). It is also used to treat lymphedema, a condition involving fluid retention that can be a complication of breast cancer surgery."
