Generic Name: CILOSTAZOL - ORAL

Pletal Oral Interactions

Your doctor or pharmacist may already be aware of any possible drug interactions and may be monitoring you for them. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicine before checking with them first.

See also the How to Use section.

Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all prescription and nonprescription/herbal products you may use, especially of:

  • "blood thinners" (e.g., heparin, warfarin)
  • other "anti-platelet" drugs (e.g., clopidogrel, dipyridamole, ticlopidine)
  • drugs affecting the removal of cilostazol from your system (CYP 3A4 and 2C19 substrates, inhibitors and inducers such as azole antifungals, macrolide antibiotics, diltiazem, nefazodone, SSRI antidepressants, cimetidine, rifamycins, St John's wort, certain anti-seizure medications, esomeprazole, omeprazole)
  • tipranavir


Check all prescription and nonprescription medicine labels carefully since many contain pain relievers/fever reducers (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or aspirin) which can increase the risk of bleeding/anti-platelet effect when used with cilostazol. Low-dose aspirin (usually 81-325 milligrams per day) as prescribed by your doctor for specific medical reasons such as heart attack or stroke prevention should be continued. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.

This document does not contain all possible interactions. Therefore, before using this product, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the products you use. Keep a list of all your medications with you, and share the list with your doctor and pharmacist.
