Product Introduction
Pletoz 100 Tablet is a prescription medicine used primarily to treat intermittent claudication, a condition characterized by pain, cramping, numbness, or weakness in the legs due to insufficient blood flow (often caused by peripheral vascular disease). This medicine helps improve blood circulation to the legs, relieving pain and discomfort during activities such as walking or exercise, which typically improve after a short period of rest.
Salt Composition:
- Cilostazol (100 mg)
Uses:
- Peripheral Vascular Disease: Helps treat pain and discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to the legs.
- Intermittent Claudication: Relieves muscle pain, cramps, numbness, or weakness in the legs that occur on exertion and improves walking ability in patients suffering from this condition.
Benefits:
- Relieves Pain in Legs: Pletoz 100 Tablet helps alleviate muscle pain (ache, cramp, numbness, or sense of fatigue) in the calf muscles, particularly during walking or exercise, caused by poor circulation.
- Improves Blood Flow: By widening blood vessels and improving platelet function, it ensures better circulation and prevents the formation of blood clots, ultimately increasing blood flow to the lower limbs.
- Increases Walking Distance: It can help patients walk longer distances without pain by improving the oxygen supply to leg muscles.
How It Works:
Pletoz 100 Tablet works by relaxing blood vessels, which reduces the stickiness of platelets. This improves blood circulation to the legs, preventing blood clots, and alleviating symptoms of pain and cramping in patients with poor circulation due to peripheral vascular disease.
How to Use:
- Take as prescribed: Follow the doctor’s directions for the correct dosage and duration.
- On an Empty Stomach: This medication should be taken on an empty stomach, preferably 30 minutes to 1 hour before meals.
- Swallow Whole: Do not chew, crush, or break the tablet. Swallow it whole with a glass of water.

- Headache
