Pletaz is a brand of cilostazol tablets, each containing 50 mg of the active ingredient. Cilostazol is primarily used to manage peripheral vascular diseases, particularly intermittent claudication—a condition characterized by leg pain due to inadequate blood flow. By improving blood circulation, cilostazol enhances walking distance and reduces pain during ambulation. citeturn0search0
