Scientific Evidence:

Cilostazol, the active ingredient in Plestazol, is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor that works by widening blood vessels and increasing blood flow. Several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of cilostazol in improving walking distances and reducing symptoms of intermittent claudication.

A randomized controlled trial published in the Journal of Vascular Surgery showed that cilostazol significantly increased pain-free walking distance compared to a placebo in patients with peripheral arterial disease. This highlights the clinical benefit of Plestazol in managing symptoms of intermittent claudication.

Additional Information:

• Plestazol may interact with certain medications, so inform your healthcare provider about all the drugs you are taking.
• Common side effects of Plestazol include headache, diarrhea, and palpitations. Consult your doctor if these side effects persist or worsen.
