Abstract
In a randomized double-blind controlled trial the effect of naftidrofuryl (Praxilene) 200 mg t.d.s., taken for 6 months, was compared with placebo in intermittent claudication. Whilst there was a significant subjective improvement regardless of age or treatment, patients over 60 on naftidrofuryl experienced a more rapid symptomatic relief than other patients. At six months this age group showed a significant improvement over the placebo group. There was no significant objective evidence of improvement.
