Rimapron Tablet (Rimaprost Alpha-Dex)

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 3 times daily. 2. For improvement of subjective symptoms (lower-extremity pain and numbness) and walking ability due to acquired lumbar spinal 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 appropriately according to age and symptoms.

This medication should not be used in women who are pregnant or may become pregnant because it may cause uterine contractions during pregnancy. In addition, this medication contains lactose, so it should not be administered to patients with lactose intolerance or certain genetic disorders. Care should be taken when using this medication in patients with a tendency to bleed or those taking antiplatelet agents, thrombolytics, or anticoagulants, as this medication may increase the risk of bleeding. During the use of this medication, hypersensitivity reactions such as skin rash or itching may occur, and if such symptoms appear, discontinue use immediately and consult healthcare professionals. Bleeding may occur rarely, so if bleeding symptoms appear, discontinue administration and observe the patient. Gastrointestinal discomfort, such as diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and loss of appetite, may occur. Abnormal liver function may occur, so it is advisable to periodically check liver health status. Cardiovascular symptoms such as increased heart rate or decreased blood pressure may occasionally occur. Other side effects such as headache, facial flushing, dizziness, feeling of warmth, trembling, swelling, and anemia may also occur, so caution is necessary. Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis should monitor changes in symptoms and determine whether to continue treatment, and the efficacy for patients requiring surgery is uncertain. Safety in children has not been established, so there is no experience of use. Elderly patients may have reduced bodily functions, so administration should be done carefully, including dosage adjustments. Finally, in healthy adults, administering a large amount may lead to a temporary drop in blood pressure, so caution is necessary.
