DescriptionDosageSide EffectsPhotos

Cilostazol is a quinolinone-derivative medication used in the alleviation of the symptoms of intermittent claudication in individuals with peripheral vascular disease. It is manufactured by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co. under the trade name Pletal.

Although drugs similar to cilostazol have increased the risk of death in patients with congestive heart failure, studies of significant size have not addressed people without the disease.

Cilostazol is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor with therapeutic focus on cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). It inhibits platelet aggregation and is a direct arterial vasodilator. Its main effects are dilation of the arteries supplying blood to the legs and decreasing platelet coagulation.

Cilostazol is used for:

Reducing symptoms of intermittent claudication (pain, cramping, numbness, or weakness in the legs) that may occur with walking. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Cilostazol is a phosphodiesterase type 3 inhibitor. Cilostazol works by widening blood vessels to increase blood flow. It also decreases the ability of platelets to stick together and form clots.

Do NOT use cilostazol if:

  • you are allergic to any ingredient in cilostazol
  • you have heart failure, bleeding problems or a disorder that causes the inability to form blood clots, or active bleeding (eg, bleeding peptic ulcer, bleeding in the brain)

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
