Rimaproem Tablet (Rimaprost Alpha Dextrin)

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 canal 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 appropriately according to age and symptoms.

This medication should not be used in women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. This medication contains lactose, so it should not be used by individuals with genetic disorders that cause lactose intolerance. Patients with a risk of bleeding or those taking blood-thinning medications should use this medication cautiously. When using this medication, hypersensitivity reactions such as skin rash or itching may occur, and if these symptoms arise, the medication should be discontinued. Bleeding may occur rarely, so if bleeding symptoms appear, the medication should be stopped immediately, and a doctor should be consulted. Gastrointestinal side effects may include diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, decreased appetite, and heartburn; in rare cases, vomiting or abdominal bloating may also occur. Liver dysfunction may occur, so it is necessary to periodically check if liver enzyme levels are elevated. Rapid heartbeat or low blood pressure symptoms and cyanosis may occur rarely. Other symptoms may include headache, facial flushing or dizziness, feeling hot, lethargy, swelling, breast pain, tremors, increased body hair on legs, and anemia. Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis should carefully monitor symptom changes and decide on the continuation of this medication. There has not been sufficient research on whether this medication can be used as an alternative to surgery for severe spinal stenosis. The safety during pregnancy is uncertain, and uterine contractions have been reported in animal studies; therefore, it should not be used by pregnant women. The safety for children has not been established, and there is no experience with usage in this age group. Elderly patients may have decreased physical function, so caution such as dosage reduction should be exercised. Caution should be taken as high doses in healthy adults may temporarily lower blood pressure.
