About Stiloz 50 Tablet 15's

Stiloz 50 Tablet 15's contains vasodilator (blood vessel widening) medication, Cilostazole, which is primarily used to treat pain in the legs due to insufficient blood flow (intermittent claudication).

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.

Stiloz 50 Tablet 15's 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.
