Description:
|
Calcium dobesilate acts on the
capillary walls by regulating its impaired physiological
functions-increased permeability and decreased resistance. It increases
erythrocyte flexibility, inhibits platelet hyperaggregation and in diabetic
retinopathy, it reduces plasma and blood hyperviscosity, thus improving
blood rheological properties and tissue irrigation. These effects allow to
correct capillary dysfunctions either of functional origin or caused by
constitutional or acquired metabolic disorders. Calcium dobesilate contributes
to reduce edema.
