Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11830753

Cilostazol is a PDE3 inhibitor which is used for the treatment of intermittent claudication. The drug positively affects the platelet aggregation and may be used off-label as a measure to prevent coronary thrombosis/restenosis and stroke recurrence.

Sample Use Guides

The recommended dosage of cilostazol tablets is 100 mg b.i.d. taken at least half an hour before or 2 hours after breakfast and dinner.
Route of Administration: Oral
In vitro assay of anti-platelet effects of cilostazol against collagen-induced aggregation using Multiplate produced a graded dose-dependent inhibition curve with IC50 value of 75.4 ± 2.4 uM while it showed a highly sensitive and all-or-none type inhibition response from 25 uM in PFA-100.
