Efficacy & effects

Improvement of chronic arterial occlusion (ulcers, pain, etc.) and prevention of recurrent cerebral infarction

  • Ulcers
  • pain
  • cold sensation
  • ischemic symptoms associated with chronic arterial occlusion
  • and recurrence after cerebral infarction
View approved original text

When cilostazol monotherapy is insufficiently effective, co-administration of cilostazol and ginkgo biloba leaf extract can be a helpful alternative therapy for improving ischemic symptoms such as ulcers, pain, and cold sensation due to chronic arterial occlusion. Additionally, this combination therapy may be considered to prevent recurrence after cerebral infarction, except in cases of cardiac cerebral embolism. This combination therapy is useful in enhancing therapeutic efficacy, improving patient symptoms, and reducing the risk of recurrence.

Precautions

This medication may increase heart rate, which could lead to symptoms of angina, such as chest pain, so careful monitoring for such symptoms is required. It should not be administered to patients with a tendency for bleeding, recent hemorrhagic stroke, or active peptic ulcer. It should not be used in patients with heart failure, those with previously allergic reactions to this medication, pregnant women or those who may become pregnant, and nursing mothers. Patients with lactose intolerance should also avoid this medication. Patients taking anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, or thrombolytics should exercise caution due to an increased risk of bleeding. Women during menstruation should also be administered cautiously due to bleeding risk. Patients with severely impaired kidney or liver function, diabetics, and those with persistently high blood pressure or heart rhythm abnormalities require special caution. This medication may cause side effects such as headache, nausea, vomiting, itching, heart palpitations, and indigestion, and any abnormal symptoms should be immediately reported to a healthcare professional. Dizziness may occur when driving or operating machinery, so caution is advised. Pregnant or nursing women should not take this medication, and breastfeeding should be discontinued for safety. Safety in pediatric patients has not been established, so caution is required when using in children. Elderly patients may require dose adjustments due to decreased physiological functions. In cases of overdose, symptoms such as severe headache, diarrhea, hypotension, and rapid heartbeat may occur, necessitating immediate medical assistance.
