[Effects of hexobendine on peripheral circulation (author's transl)]

Hexobendine (Ustimon) given i.v. increases the arterial blood flow in the musculus tibialis anterior ninefold and improves the peripheral circulation for a limited time. Also the better arterial perfusion caused by adenosine and similar substances is intensified by hexobendine given i.v. These results are discussed with the already known effects of other coronary vasodilators.
