[Exudative diabetic retinopathy. The use of clofibrate in the treatment of hard exudates using a reduced but prolonged dosage over several years (author's transl)].
Clofibrate is the treatment of choice in exudative diabetic retinopathy. With a low dose the exudates disappear, on the condition to carry on the treatment during several years. 1 or 2 capsules a day (500 or 1 000 mg/day) is enough. At this dose the tolerance is very good, allowing a regular and non-stop treatment.
