Stozic 50 Tablet

Product Description: Stozic 50 Tablet

Overview
Stozic 50 Tablet is a prescription medicine used to treat pain in the legs caused by poor blood circulation, a condition known as intermittent claudication. This condition occurs when narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs, leading to muscle pain, cramping, or weakness during walking or physical activity.

Stozic 50 Tablet works by improving blood flow to the legs, helping relieve pain and discomfort, and enabling you to walk longer distances without cramps. It also helps prevent blood clots and keeps blood vessels relaxed for better circulation.

This medicine should be taken on an empty stomach and at a fixed time every day for best results.

Composition
Each tablet contains Cilostazol 50 mg, a phosphodiesterase type 3 (PDE3) inhibitor that improves blood flow and reduces platelet aggregation (clot formation).

How Stozic 50 Tablet Works
