The main approaches to the  choice of conservative  therapy  for CVD and CVI are presented. The rationality of symptomatic treatment of this category of patients is justified. Data on clinical effects  and mechanisms  of their realization in the preparation of calcium dobesilate are given. The results  of preclinical and clinical studies to assess the efficacy and safety of calcium dobesilate in relation to the  symptomatic treatment of CVD and CVI are presented. On the  basis  of the  analysis  of literary  sources  the  conclusion  on expediency of wide application of calcium dobesilate in phlebological practice is presented.
