Limagreen Tablets (Limaprost Alpha Dextrin)

Adult dose

1. For improvement of ischemic symptoms, such as ulcers, pain, and coldness caused by thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger disease), the usual adult dose is 2 tablets orally 3 times daily. 2. For improvement of subjective symptoms (lower limb pain and numbness) and walking ability associated with acquired lumbar spinal stenosis (patients with normal SLR test results 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 pregnant women or women who may become pregnant. Since this medication contains lactose, it should not be administered to patients with genetic issues such as galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption. It should be used with caution in patients with a tendency to bleed or those taking antiplatelet agents, thrombolytics, or anticoagulants. Hypersensitivity reactions such as rashes or itching may occur occasionally, and immediate discontinuation should occur if such symptoms arise. Be observant for bleeding symptoms, as bleeding can occur rarely. Gastrointestinal symptoms may include diarrhea, nausea, abdominal discomfort, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, heartburn, and, rarely, vomiting or abdominal bloating. There may be adverse effects on liver function, so it is advisable to regularly check liver enzymes (AST, ALT). Cardiovascular symptoms such as palpitations or hypotension and peripheral cyanosis have also been reported rarely. Various side effects may occur, including headache, facial flushing, dizziness, warmth, fatigue, edema, body tremors, hirsutism, and anemia. In patients with lumbar spinal stenosis, symptom changes should be closely monitored to decide on the continuation of medication. The effectiveness of this drug for severe lumbar spinal stenosis requiring surgery has not been definitively established. Safety during pregnancy has not been established, and uterine contraction effects have been reported in animal studies, so this should not be administered to pregnant women. Safety for children has not been verified as there is no experience in use. Elderly patients may have reduced physiological function; thus, use should be cautious with dosage adjustments if necessary. When administering high doses to healthy adults, transient hypotension may occur, so caution is advised.
