Cilostazol 50 mg is an antiplatelet and vasodilator medication used primarily for the treatment of intermittent claudication—a condition caused by poor blood circulation in the legs.

Cilostazol is also beneficial in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and can help prevent stroke and vascular complications in specific cases under medical supervision.
