1. What is Rostil max and what is it used for
Rostil max contains the active substance calcium dobesilate monohydrate, which acts on the capillary endothelium, vein walls, and lymphatic vessels. The medicine reduces capillary permeability, increases their resistance, preventing the formation of exudates and improving microcirculation.
The medicine increases the tension of the vein walls, which prevents the formation of stasis and thrombi in the venous vessels. It enhances collagen synthesis, reduces blood viscosity, and increases its flow through peripheral tissues.
It has a sealing effect on the vessels in the lymphatic system, resulting in reduced swelling, leading to the relief of painful symptoms and a feeling of heaviness in the limbs.
Indications for Use
Treatment of symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency of the lower limbs (pain, cramps, feeling of heaviness in the legs, tingling, numbness, swelling, skin changes due to blood stasis), varicose veins of the lower limbs.
Symptomatic treatment of hemorrhoids.
The medicine is indicated for use in adults.
