View approved original text

This medication is used to improve ischemic symptoms such as ulcers, pain, and coldness caused by chronic arterial occlusion. It effectively treats symptoms by relieving blood circulation disorders due to conditions such as Buerger's disease, obstructive atherosclerosis, and diabetic peripheral vascular disease. This contributes to pain relief and a decrease in discomfort for patients. Ultimately, it helps to improve the function of damaged blood vessels and enhances the quality of life. Therefore, it is effectively used for ischemic symptoms related to chronic arterial occlusion.
