Pletal Description
What is Pletal?
Pletal is the brand name for cilostazol, a prescription medicine used in Australia for certain leg pains caused by peripheral arterial disease. It helps widen blood vessels and reduces clotting, aiming to improve walking distance. It is available as tablets, commonly in 50 mg or 100 mg strengths. It is not a pain reliever.
How Pletal works
Cilostazol blocks an enzyme called PDE3. This raises cyclic AMP in platelets and blood vessel walls, making blood flow easier and reducing clot formation. The result can be less leg pain while walking and the ability to walk longer before symptoms appear. Improvement often appears after several weeks of steady use.
Who should consider Pletal in Australia?
Doctors may prescribe Pletal for adults with intermittent claudication due to peripheral arterial disease. It is not suitable for people with heart failure, significant liver problems, or recent heart surgery. Your doctor will review your medical history and current medicines before starting therapy.
How to take Pletal
The usual dose is 100 mg twice daily. Take the tablets consistently, ideally spaced apart and around half a day between them. It can be taken with or without meals, but follow your clinician’s advice. Do not change the dose or stop suddenly without discussing it with a doctor or pharmacist.
What users notice
Australian customers often report longer walking distances and less leg pain after a few weeks of treatment. Some notice modest benefits, others see a stronger response, especially when combined with exercise or a supervised walking program. Results can vary with smoking status, diabetes control, and overall fitness.
Possible side effects and safety
Common side effects include headache, dizziness, diarrhoea, and tingling in the extremities. Some people may feel palpitations or swelling in the legs. Seek urgent help if you develop chest pain, severe bleeding, or signs of an allergic reaction. Pletal is not for people with heart failure or severe liver impairment.
Interactions and cautions in Australia
Tell your online pharmacy about all medicines you take, including anticoagulants and certain antifungals or antibiotics. Cilostazol may interact with liver enzymes, so your dose may need adjustment. Grapefruit juice can affect levels. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should avoid it unless a clinician says otherwise.
Buying Pletal online
In Australia, Pletal is prescription-only. An online pharmacy will require a valid prescription and may verify details with your clinician. You will receive safety checks, storage guidance, and clear instructions on use. Do not reuse an old or expired prescription, and contact the pharmacist if you have concerns.
Cost and availability
Prices differ between suppliers and plans. Online pharmacies in Australia often provide competitive quotes, with possible government or private subsidies where applicable. Your pharmacist can help compare options, confirm eligibility for any subsidies, and advise on the best way to manage costs over time.
