Stenos Tablet (Limaprost Alfadecx)

Adult dosage

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 orally 3 times daily. For improvement of subjective symptoms (lower-limb pain and numbness) and walking ability associated with acquired lumbar spinal 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 the patient’s age and symptoms.

This medication should not be used in women who are pregnant or may become pregnant.

Caution should be exercised when using this medication in patients with a tendency to bleed or those taking antiplatelet agents, thrombolytics, or anticoagulants. During the use of this medication, hypersensitivity reactions such as rashes or itching may occur, and if these symptoms arise, the medication should be stopped immediately and the doctor should be consulted. Bleeding may occur infrequently, so if bleeding symptoms occur, the administration should be stopped immediately and medical personnel informed.

Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis should monitor changes in symptoms and decide whether to continue taking the medication, as the effectiveness in severe cases requiring surgery is uncertain.
