[Use of cloridarol in coronary insufficiency].

The therapeutical activity of a new oral drug with a coronaric and myocardiotrophic action of choice, 2-benzofuryl-p-chlorophenyl-carbinol (Menacor, Menarini) in 20 patients with chronic coronary insufficiency was studied by administering 750 mg/day for at least 20 days. General and gastroenteric tolerance was excellent, while good or fair therapeutic results were obtained in 16 cases (80%). It is felt that the drug can be usefully employed in the management of coronary insufficiency.
