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 per dose, administered orally 3 times daily. 2. For improvement of subjective symptoms (lower limb pain and numbness) and walking ability due to acquired lumbar spinal stenosis (patients with a normal SLR test and bilateral intermittent claudication), the usual adult dose is 1 tablet per dose, administered orally 3 times daily. Adjust the dose as appropriate according to age and symptoms.

This drug should not be used by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. This drug contains lactose, so it should not be taken by individuals with a genetic condition that prevents them from digesting lactose. Patients with a tendency to bleed or who are taking blood-thinning medications should use this drug with caution. Adverse reactions such as skin rash or itching may occur when taking this medication, and it should be discontinued immediately if such symptoms arise. Bleeding may occur rarely, so if any bleeding symptoms appear, stop taking the medication and consult a physician. It can affect the digestive system, resulting in symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and heartburn. It may affect liver function, and liver enzyme levels may rise. Cardiovascular symptoms such as an increased heart rate or low blood pressure may occur. Headache, facial flushing, dizziness, and tremors have also been reported. Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis should closely monitor changes in symptoms and decide whether to continue taking this medication. Safety during pregnancy has not been established, and uterine contractions have been reported in animal studies, so pregnant women should avoid taking it. Safety for children has not been confirmed, so it is advisable not to use it in pediatric patients. Elderly patients may have reduced physical function, so caution is needed to adjust the dosage accordingly. If a healthy adult takes a large amount, it may cause a temporary drop in blood pressure, so caution is advised.
