Uses

Eflo is a vasoactive drug that presumes effects on endothelial integrity, capillary permeability and blood viscosity. It decreases capillary hyperpermeability, decreases platelet aggregation (clotting - adhesion of platelets) and reduces the serum viscosity, which improves blood circulation and blood supply to tissues and organs.

Dosage

Eflo dosage

Dobesil capsule once or twice daily should be taken with the main meal. Treatment duration, which generally between a few weeks to several months, depends on the disease and its evolution. Dosage should be adapted individually according to the severity of the disease.

Side Effects

Rarely gastrointestinal disorders including nausea and diarrhea, skin reactions, fever, articular pain and in very rare cases agranulocytosis have been reported. These reactions are generally spontaneously reversible after treatment withdrawal.

Precaution

Dosage should be reduced in case of severe renal insufficiency requiring dialysis. In patient with agranulocytosis, this medication can decrease the number of white blood cells which affect the body’s ability to fight against various infections. If patients experience flu-like symptoms such as cough, sore throat, fever and others, they are advised to seek medical care as soon as possible.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use

The safety of Eflo during pregnancy and lactation has not been established. As it is not known whether calcium dobesilate crosses the placental barrier in humans, the drug should be administered during pregnancy only if the benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus. Avoid breastfeeding while using this medicine.
