Adult dosage

1. For improvement of ischemic symptoms such as ulcers, pain, and coldness due to thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger 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 due to acquired lumbar spinal canal stenosis (patients with normal SLR test results and bilateral intermittent claudication), the usual adult dose is 1 tablet orally 3 times daily. The dose may be adjusted 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 individuals with genetic disorders that prevent lactose digestion should not take it. Patients with a tendency to bleed or those taking medications that can easily cause bleeding should use this medication with caution. Skin rashes or itching may occur during the course of this medication. If these symptoms appear, stop taking the medication immediately and consult a doctor. Bleeding may occur infrequently, so if bleeding symptoms are observed, stop taking the medication immediately and seek medical attention. It may affect the gastrointestinal tract, causing diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, decreased appetite, and heartburn. It can affect liver function, and liver enzyme levels may rise in blood tests, so regular testing may be necessary. Symptoms such as increased heart rate, cold extremities, and low blood pressure may occur infrequently. Various symptoms such as headache, facial flushing, dizziness, warmth, general fatigue, swelling, body tremors, increased body hair, and anemia may occur. Patients with lumbar spinal canal stenosis should closely monitor symptoms to decide whether to continue using the medication. The effectiveness of this medication in severe cases of lumbar spinal canal stenosis that require surgery is not certain. There is insufficient research on safety during pregnancy, so pregnant women should not take it. Animal studies have shown that this medication induces uterine contractions. Safety has not been established in children, and there is no experience of use. Elderly patients may have decreased bodily functions, so caution is required regarding dosage adjustment, such as reducing the dose. Healthy adults taking a large amount of this medication may experience a temporary drop in blood pressure, so caution is warranted.
