Cimizt

Description

Cimizt is a medication that contains the active ingredient cilostazol. It works by widening the blood vessels in your legs to improve blood flow. This helps to reduce leg pain while walking and increases the distance you can walk without discomfort. Cimizt is suitable for individuals with intermittent claudication due to peripheral arterial disease.
