Drug & supplement interaction

Diosmin + Rosuvastatin

Rosuvastatin brand names: Crestor, Ezallor.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 27, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Diosmin and Rosuvastatin in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Interaction report

Diosmin and Rosuvastatin

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Rosuvastatin and Diosmin in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Rosuvastatin

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Rosuvastatin is filed under 4 classifications — including hmg-coa reductase inhibitors ("statins"), hepatotoxic drugs, oral drugs. Diosmin has documented interactions with 9 drug classes — the most serious being anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs (moderate), carbamazepine (tegretol) (moderate) and chlorzoxazone (parafon forte, paraflex) (moderate) — and none of Rosuvastatin’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

Keep it in perspective

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Diosmin and Rosuvastatin May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do. One of them is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

Reported for Diosmin but not commonly for Rosuvastatin: an irregular heartbeat, bloating or gas, stomach upset and diarrhea.

Effects for Rosuvastatin come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Diosmin come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 223,851 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Rosuvastatin that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

Diosmin in Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy And Lactation Likely Safe

When used orally in amounts found in foods.

Pregnancy And Lactation Possibly Safe

When used orally in doses of up to 900 mg daily for 30 days in combination with other flavonoids, such as hesperidin. Some evidence suggests that taking this combination may be associated with placental insufficiency when used during the third trimester of pregnancy; however, the combination does not seem to induce fetal abnormalities, retard fetal growth, increase the risk of intrauterine death, or affect birth weight. Also, when breastfeeding, this combination does not seem to affect infant growth or feeding.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Rosuvastatin page

“Rosuvastatin (Crestor, Ezallor) is a statin taken daily for years to lower cholesterol, and its supplement list deserves real scrutiny, not a quick skim. Five of the 63 ingredients on file carry a major rating, headed by grapefruit, which can raise statin blood levels, and by heavy drinking, since beer and wine compound the strain this…”

About Diosmin

What is Diosmin?

  • Chronic venous insufficiency
  • Hemorrhoids
  • Leg swelling and heaviness
  • Varicose veins
  • Spider veins

Diosmin is a citrus-derived flavonoid most often used for vein-related problems such as chronic venous insufficiency and hemorrhoids, and it is usually combined with a related flavonoid called hesperidin. Some studies suggest it may help relieve leg swelling and hemorrhoid symptoms, but quality varies. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting it, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

A flavonoid derived from citrus fruit peels (often made from hesperidin) · Tablets, capsules (often combined with hesperidin)

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Diosmin is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Diosmin record says about it on its own.

Diosmin: dosing

There is no single official dose of diosmin for supplement use. Do not assume that taking more will work better or be safer.

About Rosuvastatin

What Is Rosuvastatin Used For?

Brand names: Crestor, Ezallor

Rosuvastatin lowers cholesterol and other blood fats. It is used with a healthy diet in adults for high cholesterol (primary hyperlipidemia), mixed dyslipidemia, high triglycerides (hypertriglyceridemia) and primary dysbetalipoproteinemia (a less common cholesterol disorder).

It is also used for familial hypercholesterolemia, an inherited form of very high cholesterol. Some tablet labels cover children 8 and older with the heterozygous form. Other labels also cover the homozygous form in children 7 and older, but one generic tablet label leaves out the pediatric information. Several tablet labels include slowing atherosclerosis (fatty plaque buildup in arteries) and lowering the risk of heart attack, stroke and arterial revascularization procedures in adults at increased cardiovascular risk. Wording varies by product.

Taking Diosmin and Rosuvastatin Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Diosmin with Rosuvastatin?
We do not list a known interaction between Diosmin and Rosuvastatin. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Diosmin and Rosuvastatin have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 8 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
How was the Diosmin and Rosuvastatin combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Rosuvastatin is filed under 4 classifications, and Diosmin has documented interactions with 9 drug classes — none of Rosuvastatin's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does Diosmin interact with any other medications?
Yes. Diosmin has 884 documented drug interactions in our database — Rosuvastatin is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Rosuvastatin interact with any supplements?
Yes. Rosuvastatin has documented interactions with 63 supplements in our database — Diosmin is not one of them. The Rosuvastatin interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
