Efficacy & effects

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

  • Ulcers
  • pain
  • coldness due to chronic arterial occlusive disease
  • recurrence after cerebral infarction onset
View approved original text

In cases where cilostazol alone is not sufficiently effective, combining cilostazol with ginkgo biloba extract can improve ischemic symptoms such as ulcers, pain, and coldness resulting from chronic arterial occlusive disease. This combination therapy is applicable to various patients with chronic arterial occlusive disease, such as Buerger's disease, peripheral artery disease, and diabetic peripheral vascular disease. Additionally, it helps in preventing recurrence in patients with cerebral infarction (excluding cardiogenic cerebral embolism). This combination treatment can be an important alternative therapy for alleviating patient symptoms and preventing recurrence.

This medication improves blood circulation but may put strain on the heart, so you must inform immediately if chest pain, such as angina symptoms, occurs. Patients at risk of bleeding or those who have had recent bleeding disorders should avoid this medication. Patients with weak heart function or who have experienced allergic reactions to this medication, as well as pregnant or breastfeeding women, should avoid use. Individuals allergic to peas or soybean oil should not use this medication. Patients taking anticoagulants or antiplatelets should be cautious due to increased bleeding risk. Women during menstruation should also take it cautiously due to bleeding risk. Patients with severely impaired kidney or liver function, diabetic patients, or those with uncontrolled blood pressure need special care when using this medication.

If any abnormal symptoms arise during use, consult medical personnel immediately. This medication can cause dizziness, so caution is needed when driving or operating machinery.
