1. What is Calcium dobesilate Galena and what is it used for

The active substance of the medicine is calcium dobesilate. The site of action of calcium dobesilate is: the endothelium of blood vessels, the walls of veins, and lymphatic vessels.

The medicine also reduces the permeability of lymphatic vessels and increases lymphatic drainage, resulting in reduced swelling.
