Calcium Dobesilate Capsules: Calcium Dobesilate is prescribed to treat haemorrhoids (piles), varicose veins, and diabetic retinopathy. Haemorrhoids, or piles, are a medical condition that occurs when the veins in the anus and rectum region swell and become painful. Varicose vein refers to a condition where veins (a blood vessel) enlarge and become swollen, particularly in the feet and legs. Diabetic retinopathy is a medical condition that occurs when the blood vessels of the retina (the dark-colored part of the eye) become damaged in individuals with diabetes.
Calcium Dobesilate has Calcium Dobesilate in it, which enhances venous blood flow (a vessel of blood) by reducing blood viscosity and also relaxes the muscle of the suffering body part (legs, feet, anus, eyes) by inhibiting leakage and rupture of blood vessels. Thus, it gives relief in piles, varicose veins, and diabetic retinopathy.
Medical Benefits:
- Calcium Dobesilate is a category of drugs called ‘vasoprotective’, most commonly used in the management of haemorrhoids (piles), varicose veins (dilated, swollen, and twisted veins), and diabetic retinopathy.
- Calcium Dobesilate includes Calcium Dobesilate, which enhances venous blood circulation (a pathway of blood through the body) by reducing the viscosity of blood and also relaxes the muscles of the diseased area of the body(legs, feet, anus, eyes) by lowering the leakage and fragility of the blood vessels.
- Calcium Dobesilate acts upon the walls of the small vessels and reduces their fragility and leakage. It also enhances blood flow by reducing the viscosity/thickness of the blood.
Uses:
- It can be used in the management of chronic conditions where the leg vein becomes abnormal or diseased. These conditions can include varicose veins and spider veins.
- It may be applied to encourage healing and prevent swelling following surgical intervention, especially of veins or vascular entities.
- It might be used to manage diabetic retinopathy by enhancing blood circulation to the retina and minimizing complications.
- Calcium Dobesilate is commonly utilized in managing hemorrhoid symptoms of pain and inflammation.
- It aids in enhancing blood flow and alleviating symptoms that are related to chronic venous insufficiency, including swelling, pain, and leg heaviness.
