Action

Galvenox Veno (calcium dovesylate) has a positive effect on blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. It increases their flexibility and strength, reduces their permeability and brittleness. It also improves the elasticity of red blood cells and has a partial anti-aggregation effect. These actions translate into better blood flow through the vessels and a reduction in its stasis.
