Diosmin and Celecoxib, Tramadol

These two interact in 2 distinct ways. Each one is explained separately below.

Why Are There 2 Interactions?

Diosmin interacts with whole categories of medication. Celecoxib, Tramadol falls into 2 of those categories, so it can interact with Diosmin in 2 different ways. We’ve listed each one below — your overall risk is driven by the most serious of them (Moderate).

Moderate

CYTOCHROME P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) SUBSTRATES

1 of 2

Why this applies to Celecoxib, Tramadol

Celecoxib, Tramadol falls under CYTOCHROME P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) SUBSTRATES — the group Diosmin interacts with.

Theoretically, diosmin might inhibit the metabolism of CYP2C9 substrates.
Diclofenac is metabolized by CYP2C9 enzymes. Clinical and laboratory research shows that diosmin inhibits the metabolism of diclofenac. A pharmacokinetic study in humans shows that taking diosmin (Venex 500) 500 mg daily for 9 days prior to oral administration of diclofenac 100 mg increases blood levels of diclofenac and decreases diclofenac clearance.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Seglentis is a combo of two medicines, and the celecoxib half is the part that matters here. Celecoxib is cleared by a liver enzyme called CYP2C9, and diosmin may slow that enzyme down. If celecoxib is broken down more slowly, more of it can build up in your body. That could mean more typical celecoxib side effects, like stomach upset, heartburn, fluid retention, raised blood pressure, or, with heavier use, a higher chance of stomach or kidney problems.

To be fair, this is a theoretical concern based mostly on how diosmin behaves with a related drug (diclofenac), not from studies on celecoxib itself, so the real-world effect may be small. Still, before pairing diosmin with Seglentis, check with your pharmacist or doctor.

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES

2 of 2

Celecoxib, Tramadol also falls under CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES.

Theoretically, diosmin might inhibit the metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates.
Laboratory research is conflicting with respect to the effects of diosmin on CYP3A4. Some research suggests that diosmin does not affect CYP3A4 activity. However, other research suggests that diosmin alters the metabolism of carbamazepine, a CYP3A4 substrate. Laboratory and animal research show that oral administration of diosmin for 7 days prior to oral administration of carbamazepine increases plasma concentrations of carbamazepine, decreases the clearance of carbamazepine, and decreases the formation of carbamazepine's active metabolite. Additionally, pharmacokinetic research in healthy male subjects shows that taking diosmin (Venex) 500 mg daily for 10 days prior to oral administration of carbamazepine 200 mg increases blood levels of carbamazepine by approximately 58% and decreases carbamazepine clearance by 42%. It is speculated that diosmin reduces the metabolism of carbamazepine by inhibiting CYP3A4. Diosmetin, a metabolite of diosmin, may also inhibit CYP3A4.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence B

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Seglentis combines two medicines: celecoxib (an anti-inflammatory) and tramadol (a pain reliever). Both are partly broken down by a liver enzyme called CYP3A4. Diosmin may gently slow that enzyme, so in theory the celecoxib could build up a bit, which might mean more stomach upset, fluid retention, or, with long use, kidney or blood pressure concerns.

Tramadol is a little trickier. It's a prodrug that has to be switched on (mostly by a different enzyme, CYP2D6) to relieve pain, while CYP3A4 partly clears it. Slowing CYP3A4 could leave more parent tramadol around, which may raise side effects like drowsiness, dizziness, or nausea. Honestly, the evidence here is mostly theoretical and conflicting, so I wouldn't panic. Just check with your pharmacist or doctor before combining them.

What These Ratings Mean

Every interaction above is graded three ways — here’s the key to each label.

Severity how clinically significant the interaction is
Major

Clinically significant. Avoid the combination, or use only under close professional supervision.

Moderate

Usually worth avoiding or managing — may need monitoring, a dose change, or timing apart.

Minor

Generally not serious. Be aware of it and mention it to your pharmacist.

Likelihood how strong the evidence is that the interaction actually happens in people
  • LikelyWell-controlled human studies have demonstrated the likely existence of this interaction.
