new drug for intermittent claudication
March 1999
You'll hear about a new drug for intermittent claudication...Pletal (PLAY-tal, cilostazol) from Pharmacia & Upjohn.
It's being introduced now in the U.S...later in Canada.
Pletal seems more effective than Trental (pentoxifylline)...to increase the distance patients can walk without pain.
