View approved original text

Combination therapy using cilostazol and Ginkgo Biloba extract is available when cilostazol alone is not sufficiently effective. This combination therapy helps effectively improve ischemic symptoms such as ulcers, pain, and coldness due to chronic arterial occlusive disease. Additionally, it is used to prevent recurrence of stroke after cerebral infarction. Therefore, this combination therapy provides positive therapeutic effects in alleviating symptoms related to blood circulation problems and preventing recurrence.
