Divascan (iprasochrome), a drug designed by GDR pharmacologists, brings about a positive effect in the management of diabetic microangiopathies, particularly at early stages. Altogether 22 patients with diabetes mellitus, types I and II, were on divascan therapy. Before and after treatment the patients were subjected to clinical and ophthalmoscopic studies including the determination of microcirculation in the conjunctiva, renal function, the level of serotonin, its precursors and the main metabolite.
