cilostazol<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cilostazol Evolan belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 3 inhibitors. It works in several different ways, including dilation of certain blood vessels and reduction of the coagulation (clumping) of the so-called platelets in the blood vessels.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You have been prescribed Cilostazol Evolan for \u201c intermittent claudication \u201d. Peephole disease is a cramp-like pain in the legs when walking due to insufficient blood supply to the legs. Cilostazol Evolan can increase the distance you can walk without pain because it improves blood circulation in the legs. Cilostazol is only recommended for patients whose symptoms have not improved enough after lifestyle-related changes (eg smoking cessation and increased exercise) and after other appropriate measures. It is important that you continue with the changes you have made to your lifestyle while taking cilostazol.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cilostazol contained in Cilostazol Evolan may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information. Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or another healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.
