1. What is V D F and what is it used for
V F contains sulodexide, a substance that, by acting on some of the factors responsible for the blood clotting process, has an antithrombotic effect in the arterial and venous system. Sulodexide also normalizes increased blood viscosity in patients with vascular changes and a risk of thrombosis, and reduces lipid levels. V F soft capsules are used for the symptomatic treatment of primary and secondary chronic venous insufficiency, treatment of venous leg ulcers as an adjunct to local therapy, symptomatic treatment of chronic obstructive arterial disease of the lower limbs of moderate severity (stage II of the Fontaine classification), and extended secondary prevention of venous thromboembolic disease in patients who have completed standard anticoagulant treatment (3 to 12 months) due to deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, and treatment of hard exudates in patients with non-proliferative mild to moderate diabetic retinopathy.
