Cilostazol widens arteries that supply blood to the legs. Cilostazol also improves circulation by

Cilostazol is used to treat the symptoms of intermittent claudication. This condition causes
reduced blood flow to the legs, leading to pain while walking. Cilostazol improves your ability to walk
longer distances without pain.
Cilostazol may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
