Pharmacodynamics

Venoton has anti-inflammatory, capillary-protective, anti-edematous, venotonic, and, in addition, anti-exudative properties.

Aesculus extract stabilizes venous tone and protects capillaries, eliminates edema, and has an anticoagulant and antiplatelet effect. All these properties are due to the activity of esculin (flavone glycoside) and escin (saponin).

Esculin strengthens capillary strength, stimulates the antithrombotic effect of blood serum and increases the production of the element antithrombin within the reticuloendothelial vascular system. In addition, it increases venous blood filling, especially if there are pathogenic changes inside the veins.

Escin reduces blood viscosity.

The main active element of Japanese stryphnolobium is rutin, which has the ability to thicken vascular walls by reducing their fragility. It also helps restore vascular elasticity. It has anti-inflammatory and soothing activity.

Oats have an amino acid composition that helps to excrete excess cholesterol from the body. This component also has a general strengthening effect.

Rowan berries have anti-inflammatory and antihypertensive effects, and also provide protection for capillaries.

Hazel leaves strengthen the membranes of blood vessels and also exhibit vasoconstrictor and anti-inflammatory activity.

The bioactivity of sweet clover is due to the action of its constituent element coumarin. It increases blood pressure, increases cardiac output, and also helps improve peripheral and cerebral blood supply.

Celandine herb has an anti-inflammatory effect.

Overdose

Intoxication may provoke an increase in the severity of negative manifestations. The use of excessively high dosages may cause dizziness, gastrointestinal dysfunction, vomiting, respiratory distress, headaches and nausea.

In case of poisoning with esculus fruits, the following symptoms may be observed: development of nephrotoxic symptoms, anxiety or thrombosis. Severe diarrhea is also possible, which leads to vomiting. Among other disorders are delirium, drowsiness and mydriasis. In case of respiratory paralysis, death may occur after 24-48 hours.

When treating these symptoms, you must first stop taking the drug. Then, if there is no vomiting while taking a large portion of the substance from the fruits of the esculus, you need to perform gastric lavage and give the patient activated carbon. Symptomatic procedures are also performed.
