- This treatment is recommended in disorders of the venous circulation (heavy legs, pain, painful sensations called “impatience” at bedtime).
- It is also recommended in the treatment of lymphatic edema of the arm (infiltration of lymph into the arm support tissue) after radiosurgical treatment of a breast tumor, in addition to physical treatments such as elastic restraints.

How it works Endotelon :
VASCULOPROTECTEUR / MEDICAMENT ACTING ON CAPILLARIES
( C05CX : cardiovascular system )
Vasoprotective, veinotonic.
It increases the resistance of the vessels, decreases their permeability.
Studies carried out ” in vitro ” have shown that procyanidolic oligomers preserve fibrous proteins, in particular collagen and elastin, against enzymatic degradation, and exert a protective effect vis-à-vis the thermal denaturation of collagen.
The action of ENDOTHELON 150 mg, on the vascular walls, demonstrated in animals and confirmed in humans, results in:
- Increased peripheral and conjunctival capillary resistance (Lavollay capillarodynamometer, Parrot angiosterometer) demonstrated in subjects with vascular fragility;
- The decrease in capillary permeability demonstrated by various tests (histamine test, Landis test and isotopic Landis test).
Endotelon Side Effects
· Allergic manifestations
Rarely have been reported skin effects such as: urticaria, rash with or without pruritus, photosensitivity, eczema. These effects disappear after the end of treatment.
o Very rare cases of Quincke’s edema.

Drive and use machines
Procyanidolic oligomers have no effect on their ability to drive and use machines.
Endotelon and PREGNANCY / BREAST FEEDING / FERTILITY
Pregnancy
Studies in animals have not shown any teratogenic effect. In the absence of teratogenic effect in animals, a malformative effect in the human species is not expected. Indeed, to date, the substances responsible for malformations in humans have been teratogenic in animals in well-conducted studies on two species.Clinically, no particular malformative or fetotoxic effect has emerged to date. However, the monitoring of pregnancies exposed to procyanidolic oligomers is insufficient to exclude any risk.
Therefore, the use of this medicine should be considered during pregnancy only if necessary
Breastfeeding
In the absence of data on passage into breast milk, treatment is not recommended during the breastfeeding period.
What should I do if I miss a dose?
