Uses: Cilostazol is a phosphodiesterase III (PDE-III) inhibitor that improves blood flow by dilating blood vessels and reducing platelet aggregation. It is primarily used to reduce the symptoms of intermittent claudication, a condition in which reduced blood flow to the legs causes pain, aching, or cramping during walking. It can help patients walk for longer distances before leg discomfort occurs.
