Abstract
The use of sulodexide, a glycosaminoglycan of natural origin extracted from mammalian intestinal mucosa, and of medicines containing it in the treatment of patients suffering from retinopathy of diabetic origin is the object of the present invention.
The effectiveness of sulodexide has been proved by the significant lowering of the plasmatic exudation and of the hard exudates, by the improvement of the retinic lesions and by the restoration of the functional integrity of the membrane of the microcapillaries with subsequent decrease of the capillary permeability in diabetic patients treated with pharmaceutical compositions containing therapeutically effective amounts of drug.
