Contraindication Notes:
Hypersensitivity. Pregnancy and lactation.
Calcium dobesilate acts selectively on the capillary walls regulating their physiological functions of resistance and permeability. It lowers blood viscosity and restores normal blood flow. This action is beneficial in all cases of capillary fragility due to metabolic disturbances (constitutional or acquired), and surgical stress or induced by certain medicines.
Rarely gastrointestinal disorders including nausea and diarrhea, skin reactions, fever, articular pain and in very rare cases agranulocytosis have been reported. These reactions are generally spontaneously reversible after treatment withdrawal.
The clinical signs of a possible overdose are not known. If overdose occurs, seek medical advice immediately.
The safety of Calcium Dobesilate during pregnancy and lactation has not been established. As it is not known whether calcium dobesilate crosses the placental barrier in humans, the drug should be administered during pregnancy only if the benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus. Avoid breastfeeding while using this medicine.
Dosage should be reduced in case of severe renal insufficiency requiring dialysis. In patient with agranulocytosis, this medication can decrease the number of white blood cells which affect the body’s ability to fight against various infections. If patients experience flu-like symptoms such as cough, sore throat, fever and others, they are advised to seek medical care as soon as possible.
