What it is and how it works
Calcium dobesilate reduces capillary hyperpermeability and increases capillary resistance, decreases blood viscosity and platelet aggregation, and has antioxidant effects. These actions are thought to improve microcirculation and reduce oedema.
Indications
Diabetic retinopathy and other microangiopathies; symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency (e.g. pain, heaviness, oedema) and adjunctive treatment of haemorrhoidal symptoms.
Dosage and administration (summary)
Adults: usually 500 mg orally one to three times daily with meals, depending on the indication and severity.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to calcium dobesilate.
Warnings and precautions
Agranulocytosis has been reported rarely; patients should report fever, sore throat or mouth ulcers immediately and treatment should be stopped and a blood count performed. Dose reduction may be needed in severe renal impairment. May interfere with some laboratory assays (e.g. creatinine measured by enzymatic methods).
Pregnancy
Avoid in pregnancy, particularly the first trimester, as data are limited.
Storage and supply
