Limast Tablet (Limaprost Alpadex)

Adult dose

For improvement of ischemic symptoms such as ulcers, pain, and coldness caused by thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger's disease), the usual adult dose is 2 tablets orally 3 times daily. For improvement of subjective symptoms (leg pain and leg numbness) and walking ability caused by acquired lumbar spinal canal stenosis (in patients with a normal SLR test and bilateral intermittent claudication), the usual adult dose is 1 tablet orally 3 times daily. Adjust the dose as appropriate according to age and symptoms.

This medication should not be used in women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. Since it contains lactose, patients with galactose intolerance or certain genetic lactose metabolism disorders should not take this medication. Patients with bleeding tendencies or those on antiplatelet agents, thrombolytics, or anticoagulants should use this medication with caution. Occasionally, hypersensitivity reactions such as skin rashes or itching may occur while taking this medication, so if these symptoms occur, the medication should be stopped immediately, and the patient should consult a doctor. Also, bleeding may rarely occur, so if symptoms of bleeding appear, the medication should be discontinued immediately, and the healthcare provider should be notified. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, reduced appetite, and heartburn may occur, and in rare cases, vomiting or abdominal distension may occur as well. Since liver function abnormalities may occur, regular liver function tests are recommended. Symptoms such as increased heart rate or cyanosis of hands and feet, low blood pressure may rarely occur, so caution is advised. Other symptoms may include headache, facial flushing, dizziness, feverish sensation, body tremors, increased body hair on legs, and anemia. Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis should carefully observe changes in symptoms and decide whether to continue the use of this medication. The effectiveness of this medication in severe spinal stenosis requiring surgery is uncertain. Safety during pregnancy has not been established, and uterine contractions have been reported in animal studies during pregnancy, so it should not be administered to pregnant individuals. Safety in children has not been confirmed, so it is not recommended for pediatric use. Elderly individuals may have decreased bodily functions, so caution should be taken in adjusting the dosage when using this medication. Administering a large amount to healthy adults may lead to temporary hypotension, so caution is necessary.
