  • Title: [Treatment of the diabetic retinopathy with doxium-clofibrate (author's transl)].
    Author: Freyler H, Egerer I.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1976 Mar; 168(3):377-86. PubMed ID: 787642.
    Abstract:
    28 patients with non proliferating exudative diabetic retinopathy were treated with 750 mg Doxium and 1500 mg Clofibrate daily during 8.6 months on an average. Before beginning--in the middle of the period of observation--and after finishing the treatment, a retinal fluorescein angiography was performed. The waxy exudates decreased in 11 patients (39.29%) and increased in 8 patients (28.57%). In 9 patients (32.14%) no change of the amount of the hard exudates was observed. The treatment was almost only in those angiopathies successful, in which the fluorescein angiography showed a preponderance of the hyperpermeability over the obliterating process of retinal capillaries.
