Adult dosage

For improvement of ischemic symptoms such as ulcers, pain, and coldness associated with 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 a normal SLR test 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 it should not be administered to patients with hereditary conditions that cause lactose intolerance. Patients with a tendency to bleed or those taking anticoagulants should use this medication with caution. Allergic reactions such as rash or itching may occur while taking this medication; if such symptoms appear, it should be discontinued immediately. Rarely, bleeding may occur, so if there are signs of bleeding, the medication should be stopped and a doctor consulted. It may affect the gastrointestinal system, causing symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, reduced appetite, and heartburn. Liver function abnormalities may occur, so liver enzyme tests may be necessary. Heart rate may increase, extremities may become cold, or blood pressure may decrease; be attentive if such symptoms occur. Occasionally, symptoms such as headaches, facial flushing, dizziness, feeling of warmth, general malaise, edema, tremors, increased leg hair, and anemia may occur. Patients with lumbar spinal canal stenosis should carefully monitor changes in their symptoms and decide whether to continue using this medication. The efficacy of this medication in clinically severe lumbar spinal canal stenosis patients is not certain. Safety during pregnancy has not been established; therefore, women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not use this medication. Animal studies have shown uterine contractions, indicating potential risks if used during pregnancy. Safety in pediatric patients has not been confirmed; therefore, it is advisable not to use this medication in children. Elderly patients may have diminished physiological function and thus should use lower doses or use with caution.
