Zobilate 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. Zobilate also inhibits the formation of sorbitol. In this way Zobilate helps in reducing the symptoms and assists in treating diabetic retinopathy, chronic venous insufficiency, and hemorrhoids.
