Cilostazol tablets IP 50 mg are used to treat intermittent claudication, a condition characterized by leg pain when walking due to peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Cilostazol works by:

• 1. Inhibiting phosphodiesterase III, which increases cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels
• 2. Relaxing vascular smooth muscle and improving blood flow
• 3. Reducing platelet aggregation and blood viscosity

The medication is used to:

• 1. Improve walking distance and reduce leg pain in patients with intermittent claudication
• 2. Treat peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
• 3. Reduce the symptoms of claudication, such as cramping, fatigue, and pain in the legs

Cilostazol 50 mg tablets are usually taken twice a day, 30 minutes before breakfast and dinner. It’s important to note that cilostazol is not used to treat other conditions, such as heart failure or arrhythmias. Always consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
