Calcium dobesilate

Chemical formula: C₁₂H₁₀CaO₁₀S₂  Molecular mass: 190.174 g/mol 

Active ingredient description

Calcium dobesilate is a regulator of capillary functions. 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.
