Pilorute is a brand name of calcium dobesilate and it is available in the form of a tablet, capsule, and ointment. It belongs to the class of drug known as vasoprotectives and sclerosing agents. It is a prescription drug which is used to reduce hemorrhage in diabetic retinopathy. It also helps in chronic venous insufficiency, and hemorrhoids (piles).
Pilorute contains calcium dobesilate which works through multiple mechanisms. It enhances the activity of nitric oxide synthase which helps in increasing the levels of nitric oxide (vasodilator) that decreases peripheral resistance and improves blood flow. It reduces the fragility and permeability of microvessels. It also reduces excessive blood viscosity and excessive platelet aggregation. Pilorute also inhibits the formation of sorbitol. In this way Pilorute helps in reducing the symptoms and assists in treating diabetic retinopathy, chronic venous insufficiency, and hemorrhoids.
