GlossaryCilostazol

medication that improves blood flow in leg arteries

Cilostazol is a medication primarily used to treat intermittent claudication, a condition characterized by pain and cramping in the legs due to poor blood circulation. It works by inhibiting an enzyme called phosphodiesterase III, which helps to widen blood vessels and improve blood flow, thereby reducing symptoms and increasing walking distance for patients.
