Indications & Uses
Pharmacology
Calcium Dobesilate is a vasoactive medicine that is thought to act on the integrity of the endothelium, capillary permeability and blood viscosity. It lowers capillary hyperpermeability and reduces platelet aggregation (the clotting and sticking together of platelets). It also reduces serum viscosity, and this improves blood circulation and the blood supply to tissues and organs.
Dosage Reference
Reference Information Only
Dosages shown are general references from official sources. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized dosing.
Adults:
Adults usually take one to two 500 mg capsules of Calcium Dobesilate a day, with the main meals. How long treatment lasts depends on the disease and how it progresses, and it is generally anywhere from a few weeks to several months. The dose should be adjusted for each person according to how severe the case is.
Side Effects
Calcium Dobesilate can rarely cause stomach and bowel problems such as nausea and diarrhea. Skin reactions, fever and joint pain have also been reported, and in very rare cases agranulocytosis. These reactions usually clear up on their own once the treatment is stopped. If you get stomach or bowel problems, the dose should be reduced or the treatment stopped for a while. If you get skin reactions, fever, joint pain or a change in the blood formula, the treatment must be stopped and the treating doctor told, because these may be allergic reactions.
Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
If a patient has severe renal insufficiency and needs dialysis, the dose of Calcium Dobesilate should be reduced. In patients with agranulocytosis, the medicine can lower the number of white blood cells, and these cells help the body fight various infections. Anyone who develops flu-like symptoms such as cough, sore throat, fever and others should see a doctor as soon as possible.
Contraindications
Calcium Dobesilate capsule must not be given to patients who are hypersensitive to Calcium Dobesilate. Precautions The dose should be reduced in severe renal insufficiency that needs dialysis. In very rare cases (0.32/million patients, estimated from spontaneous reports), taking calcium dobesilate may cause agranulocytosis, which is probably linked to a hypersensitivity reaction. It can show up as high fever, infections of the oral cavity (tonsillitis), sore throat, and anogenital inflammation with its accompanying symptoms. These are often signs of an infection. The patient should be told to inform the doctor immediately if any sign of infection appears. If that happens, the blood formula and leucogram must be checked without delay and the treatment stopped.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
No studies are available in pregnant women or in animals. It isn't known whether calcium dobesilate crosses the placental barrier in humans, so the medicine should be given only when the expected benefit is judged to outweigh the possible risk to the fetus.
Calcium dobesilate passes into breast milk in very low amounts (0.µ4g/ml after intake of 3×500mg). As a precaution, either the treatment or the breast-feeding should be stopped.
