Product Introduction
Stozic 100mg Tablet is a prescription medication containing Cilostazol, a phosphodiesterase type 3 (PDE3) inhibitor. It is primarily used to treat intermittent claudication, a condition characterized by pain, cramping, numbness, or weakness in the legs due to insufficient blood flow during exercise. By inhibiting PDE3, Cilostazol increases cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels, leading to vasodilation and inhibition of platelet aggregation, thereby improving blood flow to the affected areas.​
