Abstract
To determine the effectiveness of oral thymoxamine (Opilon) as a cutaneous vasodilator in patients with peripheral vascular occlusion of the lower limb, double-blind trials of a placebo, of tolazoline in a dose of 50 mg., and of thymoxamine in single doses of 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 mg. have been undertaken using skin temperature and skin blood-flow as measures of response. Thymoxamine produced no significant increases in skin temperature and blood-flow at any dose level, whereas in the same patients tolazoline produced highly significant increases.
