Pletoz (Cilostazol) 100mg Tablets

What is Pletoz (Cilostazol) 100mg?

Pletoz 100mg contains Cilostazol, a proven prescription medication used to relieve leg pain and cramping caused by poor blood circulation — a condition known as intermittent claudication. If you experience aching, tightness, or cramps in your legs when walking that ease with rest, Pletoz may be prescribed to help you move more freely and comfortably.

What is Pletoz Used For?

• Intermittent Claudication — Pletoz reduces the muscle pain and cramps that occur during exercise or walking, caused by too little oxygen reaching the muscles. 
• Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) — Helps manage symptoms of reduced blood flow to the legs.
• Pletoz improves your ability to walk longer distances without pain. 

How to Take Pletoz 100mg

• Dose: 100mg, typically twice daily
• Take on an empty stomach — at least 30 minutes before or 2 hours after breakfast and dinner. 
• Do not take with grapefruit juice, as this may affect how the drug is processed in your body. 
• You may begin to feel relief from leg pain within 2 to 4 weeks, but the full therapeutic benefit can take up to 12 weeks. 
• Always follow your doctor's prescribed dosage and duration.

Common Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and temporary. Commonly reported side effects include headache, diarrhea, and palpitations. Dizziness may also occur. 

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience: chest pain, rapid or irregular heartbeat, signs of unusual bleeding (easy bruising, blood in urine), or difficulty breathing.

Important Warnings & Who Should NOT Take Pletoz

• Do not take Cilostazol if you have heart failure of any kind — it can worsen this condition. 
• Not suitable for people with active bleeding disorders or bleeding ulcers.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as Cilostazol is not recommended during breastfeeding. 
• Inform your doctor of all medications you currently take, especially blood thinners or other antiplatelet drugs.
