Efficacy & effects

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

  • Ulcers
  • pain
  • coldness
  • cerebral infarction
View approved original text

If the therapeutic effect of cilostazol monotherapy for chronic arterial occlusive disease or cerebral infarction is insufficient, a combination therapy of cilostazol and Ginkgo biloba leaf extract can be used as an alternative treatment. It helps improve ischemic symptoms such as ulcers, pain, and coldness in chronic arterial occlusive disease, and is also effective in preventing recurrence after a cerebral infarction. This combination therapy contributes to alleviating symptoms and reducing the risk of recurrence by improving blood circulation. Therefore, this treatment approach allows for more effective management of patients' conditions.

How to take

Adult dose

For adults, the usual dosage is 1 tablet orally twice a day.
