Cilostazol is a medication that is prescribed to improve the symptoms associated with a specific blood flow disorder in the legs, known as intermittent claudication. This condition can cause muscle pain and cramps during physical activity or walking due to insufficient oxygen supply to the muscles. By increasing blood flow and oxygen delivery to the muscles, cilostazol can alleviate these symptoms. It belongs to a class of drugs called antiplatelets and vasodilators, which function by inhibiting the aggregation of blood platelets and preventing the formation of harmful blood clots. In addition, cilostazol widens the blood vessels in the legs, facilitating the movement of blood and ensuring its smooth flow throughout the body.
