Opmon Tablet (Limaprost Alfadeex)

Adult dosage

1. 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 per dose, 3 times daily, taken orally. 2. For improvement of subjective symptoms (lower-limb pain and numbness) and walking ability caused by acquired lumbar spinal stenosis (patients with a normal SLR test and bilateral intermittent claudication), the usual adult dose is 1 tablet per dose, 3 times daily, taken orally. The dose may be adjusted appropriately according to age and symptoms.

This medication should not be used by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. This medication contains lactose, so it should not be administered to patients with genetic disorders who cannot break down lactose. Patients with a tendency to bleed or those taking anticoagulants should use this medication with caution. Occasionally, hypersensitivity reactions such as skin rashes or itching may occur, so if such symptoms arise, the medication should be discontinued. Bleeding can occur rarely, so if unusual symptoms arise, administration should be stopped immediately and healthcare personnel should be consulted. Gastrointestinal side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and heartburn may occur. Liver function abnormalities may occur, so liver function tests may be necessary. Rapid heartbeat and low blood pressure may rarely present as symptoms. Headaches, facial flushing, dizziness, warmth, fatigue, edema, body tremors, increased hair growth on the legs, and anemia have been reported. Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis should carefully observe their symptoms when deciding whether to use the medication. Safety in pregnancy has not been established, so it is not administered to pregnant women; uterine contraction effects have been confirmed in animal studies. Safety has not been confirmed in children, and there is no experience of use. Elderly individuals may have diminished physical functionality, so dosage adjustments and caution are required. Caution should be taken as high dosages in healthy adults may temporarily lower blood pressure.
