Smuth Capsule 10's

Smuth Capsule 10's belongs to the group of medicines known as 'vasoprotective', primarily indicated in the treatment of constipation, hemorrhoids (piles), varicose veins (enlarged, swollen, and twisted vein), and diabetic retinopathy (damage to light-sensitive the black part of the eye). Hemorrhoids are also known as piles, are a medical condition that happens when veins present in the anus and rectum area (the last part of the large intestine that ends up in the anus) get swell and become painful. The varicose vein is a condition in which veins (a type of blood vessel) become large, swollen especially in feet and legs. Diabetic retinopathy is a health condition that happens when the retina's blood vessels (black part of the eye) get damaged in persons with diabetes.

Smuth Capsule 10's contains two medicines namely Calcium Dobesilate and Docusate sodium. Smuth Capsule 10's contains 'Calcium Dobesilate' that 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. Docusate is a laxative that works by boosting the amount of water the stool absorbs in the gut, producing the stool softer and easier to pass. In this way, Smuth Capsule 10's provides relief in constipation, piles, varicose veins, and diabetic retinopathy.

Certain diagnostic tests including digital rectal exams can diagnose haemorrhoids.

Constipation: When a person passes less than three bowel movements a week or has tough bowel movements.

Haemorrhoids: These are also known as piles, are a medical condition that happens when veins present in the anus and rectum area (the last part of the large intestine that ends up in the anus) get swell and become painful. Piles can be can either be internal or external. Internal haemorrhoids occur within the rectum as the rectum area has fewer pain receptors, less troublesome and painful. At the same time, external haemorrhoids occur at the outside of the anus and are most painful. Some of the common symptoms of haemorrhoids are itching, pain, swelling, and trouble sitting. If proper treatment is not provided at the right time, haemorrhoids become irritated and cause bleeding.

The varicose vein: It is a condition in which veins (a type of blood vessel) become large, swollen especially in feet and legs. Veins are responsible for carrying deoxygenated (low oxygen) blood from other parts of the body to the heart to make it oxygenated. If these blood vessels get weak or damaged, it can cause swelling of veins or varicose veins. Sometimes, varicose veins do not cause any pain, and symptoms at that time included dark purple or blue colour veins, twisted or swelling veins. When painful signs and symptoms occur like heavy feeling in legs, throbbing pain, swelling in lower legs, skin discolouration around a varicose vein.

Diabetic retinopathy: It is a health condition that happens when the retina's blood vessels (black part of the eye) get damaged in persons who have diabetes. Initially, this disease does not cause any symptoms. Still, as this disease progresses, it can cause blurred vision, fluctuating vision, impaired colour vision, dark or empty areas in your vision, and vision loss.
