Uses of CALCIUM DOBESILATE+EUPHORBIA PROSTRATA EXTRACT
Medicinal Benefits
CALCIUM DOBESILATE+EUPHORBIA PROSTRATA EXTRACT contains Calcium Dobesilate and Euphorbia prostrata extract. It is used primarily in the treatment of haemorrhoids (piles). Calcium dobesilate helps control and arrest bleeding by enhancing blood health and integrity. It prevents oxidation of blood and damage that leads to shedding or bleeding. Thus, it prevents leakage and oozing of blood from piles. It aids the natural clotting process and augments the healing process. Euphorbia prostrata is a plant extract. By action of its flavonoids, tannins and phenolic acid, euphorbia prostrata exerts an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory action and helps in shrinkage of engorged blood vessels and arresting bleeding, thereby relieving the pain, congestion and discomfort caused by haemorrhoids.
