Description

Description

Pletal (cilostazol) is a medication used to treat intermittent claudication, a condition that causes serious leg pain due to poor blood flow. It functions by widening blood vessels and preventing blood clots, helping patients walk longer distances without discomfort. Available in 50mg and 100mg tablets, Pletal is taken two times daily, usually 30 minutes before or two hours after meals.

However, common side effects of Pletal include headache, dizziness, and diarrhea. Before taking Pletal, inform your doctor about all other medicines you are using. Store Pletal at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. To order Pletal online, you must obtain a prescription from a healthcare provider.

Usage Guide

  • Take the Pletal tablet with a glass of water at the same time every day for best results.
  • Take at least 30 minutes prior to or 2 hours after breakfast & dinner to ensure optimal absorption.

  • Take the Pletal tablet exactly as your doctor tells you.
  • Avoid eating grapefruit juice while taking this medicine.
How It Works

How It Works

Pletal (cilostazol) works by improving blood flow to the legs through two key mechanisms: vasodilation and antiplatelet action. As a selective phosphodiesterase III inhibitor, it increases levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP) in platelets and vascular smooth muscle. This leads to relaxation of blood vessels (vasodilation), allowing oxygen-rich blood to reach the muscles, and it also prevents platelets from clumping together, decreasing the risk of clot formation.

Side Effects

Side Effects

Common Pletal side effects may include:

  • Headache
  • Diarrhea or abnormal stools
  • Dizziness
  • Palpitations or pounding heartbeat
  • Runny or stuffy nose
  • Upper respiratory tract infections
  • Nausea, abdominal pain, or indigestion
  • Swelling in the legs or ankles

Serious side effects (rare) of Pletal tablets are:

  • Heart problems
  • Bleeding issues
  • Severe allergic reactions
  • Blood disorders
  • Liver issues

Note: Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist if you experience any serious symptoms or unusual changes.

Warnings

Warnings

You should be aware of the following warnings if you plan to order Pletal online:

  • Bleeding Risk: Because Pletal has antiplatelet effects, it can increase the chances of bleeding, especially when combined with other blood-thinning medications like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel. Patients with bleeding disorders or active bleeding (such as ulcers) should use Pletal cautiously, and regular monitoring may be necessary.
  • Liver and Blood Disorders: Pletal tablets may cause liver dysfunction or blood abnormalities such as low white blood cell or platelet counts. These effects are uncommon but serious, and patients should report symptoms like jaundice, unusual fatigue, or frequent infections to their doctor.
  • Heart Problems: Taking Pletal may lead to cardiovascular side effects such as a fast heartbeat, irregular heartbeat, palpitations, and low blood pressure. These symptoms can be especially concerning for patients with pre-existing heart conditions, as cilostazol’s vasodilatory and antiplatelet effects may place additional strain on the heart. This is why Pletal is strictly contraindicated in patients with any form of heart failure. Even mild heart failure can be worsened by Pletal, so it should be completely avoided in such cases.
  • Severe Allergic Reaction: Pletal can cause rare but serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis and angioedema. These reactions may present as hives, swelling of the face, lips, mouth, or tongue, difficulty breathing or wheezing, and dizziness. If any of these symptoms occur, it is critical to stop taking the medication and seek emergency medical attention right away. Prompt treatment can prevent complications and ensure patient safety, especially for those with a history of drug allergies or sensitivities.
Safety Guide

Safety Guide

If you plan to order Pletal from Canada, follow these precautionary measures:

  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Pletal is classified as Pregnancy Category C, meaning risk to the fetus cannot be ruled out. Animal studies have shown potential harm, and it passes into breast milk. Therefore, it should only be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding if clearly needed and under medical supervision.
  • Liver and Kidney Function: Pletal is metabolized in the liver and excreted by the kidneys. While no dose adjustment is typically needed for mild liver or kidney impairment, caution is advised in moderate to severe hepatic dysfunction or renal failure, especially in patients on dialysis, as cilostazol is highly protein-bound and not easily removed.
  • Do Not Share: Never share your Pletal tablets with others, even if they’re experiencing similar symptoms. This medication is prescribed based on the patient’s health needs, and taking it without proper evaluation could lead to serious side effects or harm.
Missed Dose

Missed Dose

If you miss a Pletal dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for your next scheduled Pletal dose, skip the missed one. Do not double the Pletal dose to compensate.

Overdose

Overdose

In case of Pletal overdose, symptoms may include severe headache, fast or irregular heartbeat, dizziness, fainting, or diarrhea. If an overdose is suspected, call the poison control helpline at 1-800-222-1222.
