How Calcium Dobesilate works
- Calcium Dobesilate works by making the capillaries (small blood vessels) less permeable, which means it reduces the amount of fluid that leaks out of these vessels into surrounding tissues, helping to decrease swelling and inflammation.
- It reduces the tendency of platelets to clump together, which lowers the risk of blood clots.
- The medication also decreases blood viscosity, making the blood flow more smoothly through the vessels.
- Calcium Dobesilate helps to relax the blood vessels by increasing the production of nitric oxide, a molecule that naturally helps to widen blood vessels, improving circulation.
