Rimad Tablet (Rimaprost Alpha-Dex)

Adult dosage

1. For improvement of ischemic symptoms such as ulcers, pain, and coldness due to thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger's disease), the usual adult dose is 2 tablets orally 3 times daily. 2. For improvement of subjective symptoms (leg pain and numbness) and walking ability due to acquired lumbar spinal stenosis (in patients with a normal SLR test and bilateral intermittent claudication), the usual adult dose is 1 tablet orally 3 times daily. Adjust the dose as appropriate according to age and symptoms.

This medication should not be used by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. This medication contains lactose and should not be given to patients with lactose intolerance or certain genetic metabolic disorders. Patients with a tendency to bleed or those taking antiplatelet agents, thrombolytics, or anticoagulants should use this medication with caution. A rash or itching may occur with this medication; if such symptoms appear, use should be discontinued immediately. Bleeding may occur rarely, so symptoms should be closely monitored, and administration should be stopped if there are any abnormalities. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and heartburn may occur, so caution is advised. Liver function may be impaired; routine checks for elevated liver enzymes are necessary. Palpitations, hypotension, and cyanosis of the extremities may occur rarely, requiring caution. Symptoms such as headaches, facial flushing, dizziness, heat sensation, body tremors, edema, and anemia may appear, so attention to symptoms is necessary. Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis should observe changes in symptoms when deciding whether to administer the medication, and efficacy in severe cases is uncertain. Safety has not been established during pregnancy, and uterine contractions have been reported in animal studies, so it should not be used in pregnant women. Safety has not been confirmed in children, so it is best not to use it in pediatric patients. The elderly may have decreased bodily functions; therefore, administration should be cautious, such as reducing the dosage. In healthy adults, large doses may temporarily lower blood pressure, so caution is advised.
