Indications
Naftidrofuryl Oxalate capsule is used to treat peripheral vascular disorders, which are blood circulation problems outside the brain and heart. It is used for these symptoms of such disorders: intermittent claudication, cramps in legs at night, severe pain in legs while resting (rest pain), pale or blue fingers or toes which get worse when it is cold, numbness, tingling or burning feelings in fingers or toes (Raynaud's syndrome or acrocyanosis), open sores on the legs or feet (trophic ulcers), and poor circulation caused by diabetes (diabetic arteriopathy). It is also used to treat gangrene. Azelto capsule is used in the same way, for the same disorders and symptoms.
⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
Pharmacology
Naftidrofuryl oxalate blocks 5HT2 receptors. Because of this, it works against the narrowing of blood vessels and the platelet clumping that serotonin causes. It also acts directly on the metabolism inside cells. It raises the ATP level, lowers the lactic acid level in ischemic conditions and improves the oxidative capacity of the cells. Naftidrofuryl oxalate is also a powerful spasmolytic agent.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
There's no clinical data on Naftidrofuryl Oxalate in pregnancy, so it's not advisable to use it during pregnancy. Nothing is known either about whether it passes into human milk, and for that reason women who are breastfeeding should not use Naftidrofuryl Oxalate.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
