Pletal Description
Pletal, the brand name for cilostazol, is a prescription medicine used to improve symptoms of intermittent claudication in adults. In Australia, it is commonly prescribed when leg pain affects walking or daily activities due to narrowed leg arteries. On our Australian online pharmacy, customers read reviews to understand how it works and what to expect during treatment.
How it works: Cilostazol is a phosphodiesterase-3 inhibitor. It relaxes blood vessel walls and helps reduce the sticking together of platelets. The result can be better blood flow to the legs, which may lessen leg pain during walking and improve exercise capacity. Effects usually appear after several weeks of regular use, not on the first day of treatment.
How to take it
Usually the dose is 100 mg twice daily. Some people start at 50 mg twice daily if they have side effects or tolerance issues, then increase as advised by a clinician. Take it exactly as prescribed. You can take it with or without food unless your doctor instructs otherwise. It is not approved for use in children and should be used with caution in older adults with heart conditions.
What to expect in Australia: patient feedback
Australian customers often report gradual relief from leg pain and the ability to walk longer distances with less fatigue. Some notice headaches or dizziness in the first weeks. A few experience swelling in the legs or a warm feeling after a dose. Blood pressure changes can occur, so your doctor may monitor this if you have existing readings outside the normal range. Cilostazol can interact with other medicines such as certain antibiotics, antifungals, and some blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs. Always tell your pharmacist about all medicines you take, including over‑the‑counter items and herbal supplements.
Who should not take Pletal
Do not use cilostazol if you have a history of heart failure, any active internal bleeding, or known intolerance to the medicine. It is not suitable with severe liver disease or during pregnancy unless a clinician approves. If you have recent surgery, major injuries, or plan a procedure, discuss timing with your doctor. People with high risk of stroke or certain heart rhythm problems should be carefully assessed before starting treatment.
Side effects and safety
Common side effects include headache, diarrhea, and dizziness. Some people notice palpitations, back or leg cramps, or facial flushing. Rare but serious risks include significant bleeding or changes in liver enzymes. If you experience chest pain, severe shortness of breath, swelling of the legs, or yellowing of the skin or eyes, seek urgent medical help. Regular reviews and, if advised, blood tests may occur during longer courses of treatment in Australia. The packaging includes full warnings and the patient information leaflet in English.
Storage and practical notes: Store at room temperature away from moisture. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use after the expiry date. If you miss a dose, do not double up; take the next dose as scheduled unless advised by a clinician. If you discontinue treatment, do so only after talking with your doctor.
Online pharmacy note: A valid prescription from an Australian clinician is required. Our service verifies the prescription and ships only to Australian addresses. Your doctor will review benefit and risk at regular intervals to monitor your response and any potential side effects, including liver function or heart-related concerns if indicated.
