Indobufen supports dose selection for TX inhibition in NIDDM; extends evidence that >95% COX suppression is needed for maximal platelet effects.
Does indobufen dose-dependently reduce thromboxane biosynthesis and platelet function in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus?
Indobufen dose-dependently inhibits thromboxane biosynthesis and platelet function in NIDDM patients, suggesting that >95% suppression of platelet cyclooxygenase may be needed for maximal in vivo inhibition.
