LOFTYL Buflomédil tablets to 150 mg. Action
Vasodilator drug that is having the capacity to increase the size of the vessels, thus helping to fight against spasms of the small vessels.

Indications
The buflomédil is a drug used in the symptomatic treatment of Arteritis (inflammation of the arteries resulting in a decrease of their caliber) and Raynaud’s phenomenon: paroxysmal digital ischemia manifested by the successive appearance of pallor and episodes of cyanosis (bluish grey and staining reflecting a lack of oxygen) in fingers). A bright red colour associated with the affected fingers pain can be caused by a too sudden warming or emotional stress interrupting the arrival of the blood. The location of this phenomenon is sometimes limited to two or three fingers of each hand. It is estimated that Raynaud’s phenomenon affects approximately 10% of the general population.
Some medical teams advocate this molecule for the prevention of the occurrence of frostbite.

In Raynaud’s disease, there appears to be an anxious component which must be taken into account.
