View approved original text

If the effect of cilostazol monotherapy is insufficient, a combination therapy of cilostazol and Ginkgo Biloba dry extract can be considered. This combination therapy helps improve ischemic symptoms such as ulcers, pain, and cold sensations caused by chronic arterial occlusive disease. It is also effective in preventing recurrence after the onset of cerebral infarction. In short, it is used effectively to improve blood circulation, alleviate symptoms, and reduce the risk of recurrence.

How to take

Adult dose

In general, adults take 1 tablet orally, twice a day.
