Piyavit has a protective effect on the endothelium; reduces the adhesion of platelets to the subendothelium, having a high affinity for collagen.
It has fibrinolytic activity, which differs from the action of plasmin. Reduces blood viscosity, prevents the growth of blood clots in blood vessels, and also promotes their resorption. The development of the thrombolytic effect is slow.
