Rimaglan Tablet (Rimaprost Alpha Dextrin)

Adult dosage

1. For improvement of ischemic symptoms such as ulcers, pain, and coldness associated with thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger's disease), the usual adult dose is 2 tablets orally 3 times daily. 2. For improvement of subjective symptoms (lower limb pain and numbness) and walking ability associated with acquired lumbar spinal stenosis (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 by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. Since this medication contains lactose, it should not be used in patients with genetic diseases that impair the digestion of lactose. It should be used with caution in patients with a tendency to bleed or at risk of bleeding, and care should also be taken with patients taking antiplatelet agents, thrombolytics, or anticoagulants. While taking this medication, allergic reactions such as skin rash or itching may occasionally occur, and if such symptoms appear, use should be stopped immediately. Bleeding may occur infrequently, so body conditions should be closely monitored, and if any unusual symptoms arise, medication should be discontinued. It can affect the gastrointestinal system, resulting in diarrhea, nausea, abdominal discomfort, decreased appetite, and heartburn. It may also affect liver function possibly leading to elevated liver enzyme levels in blood tests, so periodic testing is required. Cardiovascular symptoms such as increased heart rate, cyanosis of the extremities, and hypotension may occur. Various side effects may appear, including headache, facial flushing, dizziness, warmth, generalized malaise, edema, tremors, hypertrichosis, and anemia, so caution is advised. Patients with lumbar spinal canal stenosis should observe changes in symptoms and decide whether to continue medication, as the effects of this medication are not certain in severe cases requiring surgery. The safety during pregnancy has not been established, and uterine contractions have been reported in animal experiments, so women who may become pregnant should not take it. Safety in children has not been verified due to lack of experience, so it is advisable not to administer it to children. Elderly patients may have diminished bodily functions, so special care, such as reducing the dosage, is required. Caution is advised as administering a large amount to healthy adults may temporarily lower blood pressure.
