This medication is used to improve ischemic symptoms such as ulcers, pain, and coldness caused by chronic arterial occlusion. Chronic arterial occlusion includes vascular diseases like Buerger's disease, obstructive arteriosclerosis, and diabetic peripheral vascular disease, which can lead to symptoms due to inadequate blood circulation. The drug promotes blood circulation and alleviates discomfort caused by ischemia, enhancing the patient's quality of life. Continuous treatment can help improve symptoms and prevent complications.

Precautions

This drug should not be used in patients with bleeding. Conditions like hemophilia or gastrointestinal ulcers pose higher bleeding risks. Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant are advised not to take this medication due to reported negative effects on the fetus in animal experiments. Women who are menstruating or patients with bleeding tendencies should use this medication carefully as the risk of bleeding may increase. Patients taking anticoagulants or platelet aggregation inhibitors should exercise caution as the risk of bleeding may be heightened. Patients with severely impaired kidney function and elderly individuals should also take this medication with particular care due to possible issues with drug excretion. During treatment, side effects such as hives, headache, indigestion, cough, and anxiety may occur. If any unusual symptoms appear, consult healthcare professionals immediately. Since bleeding symptoms or blood abnormalities may develop, it is essential to have regular blood tests. If taking with other anticoagulants or platelet aggregation inhibitors, the risk of bleeding may increase, so it is critical to consult a doctor. It is preferable for pregnant or breastfeeding women not to take this drug, and if absolutely necessary, they should avoid breastfeeding. The safety of this medication in children has not yet been established, so it is advisable not to use it in children. The medication should be stored out of reach of children, and it is important not to transfer it to other containers to maintain the quality and safety of the drug.
