Opamon Tablet (Limaprost Alfadex)

Adult dosage

1. For improvement of ischemic symptoms such as ulcers, pain, and coldness due to thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger's disease), the usual adult dose is 2 tablets orally three times daily. 2.

Adjust the dose appropriately according to age and symptoms.

This medication should not be used by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. Due to the presence of lactose, it should not be administered to patients with genetically related issues that prevent lactose digestion. Use with caution in patients with a tendency to bleed or those taking antiplatelet, thrombolytic, or anticoagulant medications. While taking this medication, allergic reactions such as skin rashes or itching may occur, and if these symptoms arise, use should be discontinued immediately. Bleeding may occur rarely, so if bleeding symptoms emerge, stop taking the medication and consult a doctor. Gastrointestinal side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, decreased appetite, and heartburn may also occur, so caution is advised. Liver function abnormalities may occur, necessitating liver laboratory tests to monitor liver condition. Cardiovascular symptoms such as rapid heartbeat or low blood pressure, and changes in limb color may manifest. Various side effects including headaches, facial flushing, dizziness, heat sensations, general malaise, swelling, trembling, hirsutism, and anemia have been reported; consult a doctor if such symptoms occur. Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis should observe symptom changes to determine whether to continue medication, as effectiveness is not certain for severe cases requiring surgery. Safety during pregnancy has not been confirmed, and uterine contraction effects were reported in animal studies; therefore, pregnant women should not take it. Safety has not been established for children, and there is no experience in use. Elderly patients may have decreased physiological functions and should use the medication with caution, possibly reducing the dose. Healthy adults who take a large amount may temporarily experience lowered blood pressure; caution is advised.
