About Smuth Capsule

Smuth Capsule belongs to the group of medicines known as 'vasoprotective', primarily indicated in the treatment of constipation, hemorrhoids (piles), varicose veins (enlarged, swollen, and twisted vein), and diabetic retinopathy (damage to light-sensitive the black part of the eye). Hemorrhoids are also known as piles, are a medical condition that happens when veins present in the anus and rectum area (the last part of the large intestine that ends up in the anus) get swell and become painful. The varicose vein is a condition in which veins (a type of blood vessel) become large, swollen especially in feet and legs. Diabetic retinopathy is a health condition that happens when the retina's blood vessels (black part of the eye) get damaged in persons with diabetes.

Smuth Capsule contains two medicines namely Calcium Dobesilate and Docusate sodium. Smuth Capsule contains 'Calcium Dobesilate' that improves blood flow in veins (a type of blood vessel) by decreasing the thickness of blood and also relaxes the muscles of the affected part of the body (legs, feet, anus, eyes) by reducing the leakage and fragility of blood vessels. Docusate is a laxative that works by boosting the amount of water the stool absorbs in the gut, producing the stool softer and easier to pass. In this way, Smuth Capsule provides relief in constipation, piles, varicose veins, and diabetic retinopathy.

You are advised to take Smuth Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical conditions. You may experience nausea, stomach cramp, diarrhoea, fever, skin rash, headache, vertigo.
