Composition:
Each Doxium capsule contains calcium dobesilate monohydrate 50mg.
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.
Indications:
• Microangiopathies, in particular Diabetic Retinopathy.
• Clinical signs of Chronic Venous Insufficiency in the lower limbs (pain, cramps, paresthesia, oedema, stasis dermatosis).
• As adjuvant in Superficial Thrombophlebitis.
• Haemorrhoidal Syndrome
Dosage:
Generally 500 to 1000mg – 1 capsule once or twice a day to be taken with the main meals. Treatment duration, which is generally between a few weeks and several months, depends on the disease and its evolution. Dosage should be adapted individually according to the severity of the case.
