In a double blind study 16 maturity onset diabetics were treated with d-2-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)-propionic acid (naproxen) and tolbutamide with a view to possible interactions between both drugs. There were no significant differences between blood glucose levels after placebo and naproxen, respectively. The concentrations of tolbutamide were not significantly different, either. Thus diabetics on tolbutamide can be treated additionally with naproxen without any clinical side effect on carbohydrate metabolism.
