Due to this property, the drug has a positive effect on the vascular walls of patients suffering from angiopathies against the background of endocrine disorders and diabetes mellitus.

Additionally, the drug has blood-thinning properties, since it affects the process of platelet adhesion. As a result, the risk of blood clots is significantly reduced. It is worth noting the beneficial effect of the drug on the cells, that is, the process of their renewal. This is due to the ability of the agent to have an antioxidant effect.

The active ingredients help to improve the condition of the vascular wall, make it stronger and more elastic. As a result, the number of vessels damaged against the background of various diseases is significantly reduced. The additional action of the main ingredients of the composition is aimed at slowing down the process of platelet adhesion, which leads to a decrease in the risk of blood clots.

The effect of the medication is especially useful for patients who suffer from vascular pathologies, accompanied by the formation of blood clots and their attachment to the vascular walls. As a result, the progression of diseases slows down, which has a positive effect on the general condition of the patient.

Additionally, ascorbic acid has antioxidant properties. It stimulates the process of renewal of cells and their membranes, and also improves metabolic processes.

This allows you to prevent tissue damage to toxins and other harmful substances. The immunostimulating effect of the agent is noted, which helps prevent colds, as well as their frequent recurrence throughout the year.

There is also a choleretic and hypotensive effect of the drug due to the content of rutin in it. In combination with ascorbic acid, the drug not only improves the condition of the arteries and veins, but also prevents an increase in pressure in the bloodstream.

It is also worth noting the positive effect of the medication on the functioning of the cardiovascular and digestive systems. Due to a decrease in pressure in the systemic circulation, the work of the myocardium is facilitated. Normalization of digestion is carried out by improving the condition of all cells of internal organs.

After taking the tablet inside, it quickly dissolves in the digestive tract and the active ingredients penetrate into the blood. The processing of active substances is carried out in all internal organs, as well as directly in the systemic circulation. The maximum concentration of ingredients in the blood is found 2 hours after consumption.

The main part of the ingredients is excreted in the bile, a certain amount of metabolic products is evacuated with the help of the kidneys. In patients with pathologies of the digestive and urinary organs, there is a slowdown in the absorption and processing of active substances. Despite this, the drug is also considered effective for such patients.
