1. What is Cilostazol Aristo and what is it used for

Cilostazol Aristo belongs to a group of medicines known as phosphodiesterase type 3 inhibitors.

It has several actions, including the dilation of certain blood vessels and the reduction of the coagulant activity (aggregation) of certain blood cells, called platelets, in the blood vessels.

You have been prescribed cilostazol for "intermittent claudication". Intermittent claudication is the pain in the legs when walking, which is caused by insufficient blood supply to the legs. Cilostazol may help you increase the distance you can walk, as it improves blood circulation in the legs. Cilostazol is only recommended for patients whose symptoms have not improved sufficiently after making lifestyle changes (such as stopping smoking and exercising more) and after other appropriate interventions. It is important that you continue with the lifestyle changes you have made while taking cilostazol.
