The place of Ruscus extract, hesperidin methyl chalcone, and vitamin C in the management of chronic venous disease

Abstract
This review concludes that Ruscus extract acts on veins, capillaries and lymphatics with anti-inflammatory properties, and that two meta-analyses confirm a significant decrease of chronic-venous-disease symptoms and ankle circumference, supporting a Grade A recommendation for the Ruscus/HMC/vitamin C combination.
