About RACILOZ 100MG TABLET

RACILOZ 100MG TABLET contains vasodilator (blood vessel widening) medication, Cilostazole, which is primarily used to treat pain in the legs due to insufficient blood flow (intermittent claudication). It also reduces cramping, numbness or weakness in the legs on walking in such patients. Intermittent claudication is a peripheral vascular disease in which you have cramp-like pain in your legs when you walk and is caused by an insufficient blood supply in your legs.

RACILOZ 100MG TABLET works by widening the blood vessel and reducing the blood clotting time, thereby decreasing stickiness in blood vessels. Hence, increasing the blood supply to the limbs. It can also increase the distance you can walk without pain since it improves your leg's blood circulation. It is recommended in patients whose pain has not improved even after lifestyle changes like quitting smoking and doing regular exercise.

RACILOZ 100MG TABLET should be taken regularly in dose and duration as advised by the doctor. It would be best to take it on an empty stomach and at a fixed time every day. Your doctor will advise you on the exact dosage and how often you must take RACILOZ 100MG TABLET based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience headaches, ankle swelling, diarrhoea, abnormal stools, vomiting, and nausea. Most of these side effects of RACILOZ 100MG TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

RACILOZ 100MG TABLET should not be stopped abruptly without consulting the doctor as it may lead to unpleasant side effects. Also, it is not suitable for some people. Inform your doctor before starting RACILOZ 100MG TABLET if you have any kidney or liver disease, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding. Also, lifestyle changes should be continued with RACILOZ 100MG TABLET for best results. Do not take the RACILOZ 100MG TABLET if you ever had heart failure, chest pain, heart disease, and blood pressure. Before taking the RACILOZ 100MG TABLET, inform your doctor about your medical history and ongoing therapies to rule out any potential adverse effects or interactions.
