User Reviews for cilostazol oral

Had SEVERE POUNDING in the chest. Felt like someone inside me trying to get out. Felt like heart was going to explode. Also severe pounding and headache. went on all night. The next day after stopping medication, had milder symptoms of the reaction but even they lingered on for three days. Literally thought I was going to die and I am not a winer.

I have headaches after taking this medication.

Feel sick and get instant headaches.

This was prescribed to me for leg pain, but using this medication I have notice tingling and numbness on my arms and hands. And I still have the pain on my legs.

I have spinal stenosis, "X-Stop"surgery, am overweight, unable to walk more than 10 steps

In August 2010 I had surgery to treat peripheral arterial disease, it was successful. I began taking cilostazol (Pletal)in May 2013. I've had minor side effects i.e. a slight headache now and then. I was walking 3-4 times a week on a treadmill at 2.5 to 2.8 miles per hour for 50-65 minutes. The pain level was about 3. After taking the medication for 2 months I am able to walk at 3-3.5 miles an hour for 65-70 minutes. Pain level is about 1, but decreases significantly after the first mile.

diaharrea

Rapid heart beat, extreme fatigue and diahrea. Had to quit taking.

It has helped my pain in my legs and ankles very well. Without it when I walked I felt like my legs wouldd give out on me. Also, when walking now I still have some problems but not like before. This medication has really impoved my walking from what it use to be.

ONLY because of diarrhea. Very bad, had to stop taking the drug.

I have been taking this medication for 2 days, I am experiencing sever dizziness, calling my doctor in the morning.

My mom took Cilostazol for a few years. She is now in heart failure. Her cardiologist took her off this med as heart failure can be triggered by this medication.

When I first started takin it I had severe headaches and diareah. The headaches have stopped and the stools are normal now. I have only been taking this for 2 months. I had a major atery in my leg replaced and a partial amputation of my left foot.

Upon taking the first pill I developed a SEVERE headache. It felt like an ice cream headache but did not stop. The doctor explained that blood rushed to my head as well as thru my legs. I cut the pill in quarters and took one quarter in the am. I continued to add slowly over weeks until I reached the prescribed dosage of one pill in the morning and one at night. I can walk for miles now and even hike. I would recommend easing into the dosage so as not to get headaches.

I am 65,I have been taking this drug for 5 weeks. I think it has helped me a little bit. I walk my dog evry morning about a mile with a little pain once in awhile Getting better,but slow going. I have blockages in both legs.Had surgery once in left leg,it worked great Ican only hope this drug woks as well.

I have been on this medication for about 1 1/2 months. I have noticed no improvement. I have PAD in both legs. the large vein in my right leg is completely blocked. I can only walk about 10 yards without starting to feel pain in my calves and shins. I did have slight headaches, not disabling, and did have loose stools, but they both went away. I also had my chest start hurting when I exerted myself too much. I'm going back to the DR and tell him I prefer to have the surgery to correct rather than stay on a medication that has no effect.
