STILOZ 100MG
₹692.00
Stiloz 100mg Tablet is a prescription medication containing cilostazol 100 mg, used primarily to treat pain, cramping, and numbness in the legs caused by insufficient blood flow (a condition called intermittent claudication or peripheral artery disease).
Key Information
- Active Ingredient: Each tablet contains cilostazol 100 mg.
- Mechanism of Action: Cilostazol is a phosphodiesterase III inhibitor that works by widening blood vessels (vasodilation) and reducing the stickiness of platelets (antiplatelet effect), thereby improving blood flow to the lower limbs.
- Uses: Its main use is for the management of intermittent claudication to increase the distance one can walk without experiencing pain, cramping, numbness, or weakness in the legs.
- Administration:
- The typical adult dose is one tablet (100 mg) taken twice daily.
- It must be taken on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before or 2 hours after breakfast and dinner, as food can affect its absorption.
- Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not chew, crush, or break it.
- Do not stop the medication suddenly without consulting your doctor, even if symptoms improve. It may take up to 12 weeks to see the full benefits.
Potential Side Effects and Precautions
- Common Side Effects: May include headache, diarrhea, abnormal stools, dizziness, palpitations (fast/irregular heartbeat), edema (swelling), and abdominal pain.
- Serious Warnings and Precautions:
- Heart Failure: It is contraindicated (should not be used) in patients with any severity of heart failure, recent heart attack (within 6 months), or persistent chest pain at rest, as it may worsen the condition.
- Bleeding Risk: The medication increases the risk of bleeding. Inform your doctor immediately if you notice easy bruising, nosebleeds, or blood in your vomit, urine, or stool.
- Surgery: Inform your surgeon or dentist that you are taking this medication before any planned surgery or procedure, as it may need to be stopped temporarily.
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Alcohol/Grapefruit: Avoid excessive alcohol consumption and grapefruit juice, as they can increase side effects.
- Driving: It may cause dizziness; avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.
