The effect of antioxidants is due to the oxidizing effect of oxidants; Protects against cell membrane damage by reducing the aggregation of blood components and allowing red blood cells to pass through the vessels more easily, reducing the release of inflammatory mediators. Troxerutin helps to increase venous and arterial return, thereby prolonging venous filling time, reducing edema and improving local circulation and nutrition by increasing microvascular perfusion. The drug also inhibits the activity of the enzyme hyaluronidase, an enzyme that destroys hyaluronic acid (a component of cell membranes). Under its influence, the hyaluronic acid of the cell membrane is more stable.
