info

Varido 500mg Capsule is used for the treatment of haemorrhoids (piles), varicose veins (enlarged, swollen, and twisted veins), and diabetic retinopathy (damage to light-sensitive the black part of the eye). It contains Calcium Dobesilate, which 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. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as fever, gastrointestinal disorders, skin reactions, and joint pain. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

About Varido 500mg Capsule

The medicine, Varido 500mg Capsule , is primarily used to treat diabetic retinopathy, a condition that affects the tiny blood vessels in the eyes of people with diabetes. It is also prescribed to help manage chronic venous insufficiency, a condition in which the veins in the legs do not return blood effectively to the heart. Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that commonly occur as a feature or consequence of chronic venous insufficiency. By strengthening tiny blood vessels, this medicine helps reduce swelling, pain, and fluid leakage.

For the best results, you must take Varido 500mg Capsule consistently and exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is highly recommended to take this medicine with food to prevent any stomach discomfort. Incorporating healthy habits like elevating your legs when resting and managing your blood sugar levels can greatly improve your treatment outcomes.

While taking Varido 500mg Capsule , you might experience mild side effects like a mild upset stomach, nausea, or a skin rash. However, if you develop a sudden high fever, sore throat, or mouth ulcers, stop taking the medicine immediately and consult your doctor, as these could be signs of a rare but serious blood issue.

Do not take this if you have had a severe allergic reaction to it in the past. If you have severe kidney damage, you must talk to your doctor before starting Varido 500mg Capsule , as your dose may need to be adjusted.

Although there are few known major drug interactions, always inform your doctor about all other medicines you take. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or an elderly individual, consult your healthcare provider to ensure this medicine is safe for your specific situation.

  • Helps Relieve Symptoms of Poor Circulation: By improving blood vessel function, Varido 500mg Capsule helps reduce leg heaviness, aching, swelling, and discomfort associated with conditions such as varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency.
  • Supports Healthy Blood Vessel Function: Varido 500mg Capsule helps strengthen capillary walls and reduce fluid leakage into surrounding tissues, helping to minimise swelling and improve circulation.

How Varido 500mg Capsule Works

Varido 500mg Capsule contains calcium dobesilate. It works directly on the walls of your tiny blood vessels, also known as capillaries. Over time, high blood sugar or poor circulation can weaken these vessel walls, making them fragile and leaky. This medicine strengthens the vessel walls and reduces their permeability, which prevents fluid from leaking into surrounding tissues. Additionally, it may help reduce blood viscosity and improve blood flow through small blood vessels, supporting healthier circulation. It also stimulates the lymphatic system to drain excess fluid from your tissues, helping relieve swelling and discomfort.
