Dongsung Limaprost Alphadex Tablets

Adult dosage

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. For improvement of subjective symptoms (lower-limb pain and numbness) and walking ability due to 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. Adjust the dose appropriately according to age and symptoms.

This medication should not be used by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. This medication contains lactose, so it should not be administered to patients with genetic issues that prevent the digestion of lactose. It should be used with caution in patients who have a bleeding tendency or are taking medications that may cause bleeding. If skin rash or itching occurs as a hypersensitivity reaction after taking this medication, use should be discontinued immediately. Bleeding can occur rarely, so if bleeding symptoms are observed, stop taking the medication and consult a physician. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, abdominal discomfort, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, heartburn, vomiting, and abdominal bloating may occur. Liver function may be affected, so liver enzyme levels should be checked periodically. Be cautious of symptoms such as increased heart rate, cyanosis of extremities, and low blood pressure. Headaches, facial flushing or dizziness, heat sensation, fatigue, swelling, breast pain, tremors, increased body hair on the legs, and anemia may occur. Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis should closely monitor symptom changes and decide whether to continue using the medication. The effectiveness of this medication is uncertain in cases of severe lumbar spinal stenosis requiring surgery. Safety during pregnancy has not been established, and uterine contractions were observed in animal tests, so it must not be used during pregnancy. Safety has not been proven for children, and there is no experience in use. Elderly patients may have decreased physical function and should use the medication with caution, potentially at a reduced dose. Administering large amounts to healthy adults may temporarily lower blood pressure, so caution is advised.
