... for the same period (38 patients). At the end of the study statistically significant differences in the Doxium group compared with the placebo group were recorded: intraocular pressure, visual field defects, surface area of retinal hemorrhages, and whole blood and plasma viscosity were reduced (p < 0.001...

... viscosity values had fallen to a statistically significant extent in the Doxium group compared with the initial status and with the placebo group. These results are consistent with Doxium’s known action in reducing capillary fragility, microvascular hyperpermeability, and blood viscosity. Ophthalmie Res. 16...

...J. Price During the initial viscosity reduction phase, heparin inhibits the activity of hyaluronidase on rabbit and dog vitreous. The inhibition is thought to be competitive and blocks depolymeriza- Hyaluronic acidtion. An actual increase in relative was noted. Viscosity was determined...
