Lespefril is a hypoazotemic herbal medicine. It helps to increase the filtration activity of the kidneys, reduces azotemia (eliminates excess nitrogen-containing elements in the blood) in case of kidney failure and increases the excretion of nitrogenous wastes with urine.
Along with this, it also enhances the processes of diuresis and the excretion of sodium (and potassium, but in smaller quantities) salts, and in addition, it reduces blood cholesterol levels in people with atherosclerosis.

It is also prescribed for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis.
