Cilostazol Coupons & Prices
Cilostazol 100MG
Looking for a cilostazol coupon? Cilostazol is the generic form of Pletal, and because it's available from multiple manufacturers, prices can vary widely from one pharmacy to the next. Rx.com compares prices across 60,000+ pharmacies so you can see where your prescription costs less — enter your ZIP above to see today's price near you.
What is cilostazol and how does it work?
Cilostazol (brand name Pletal) is a phosphodiesterase III (PDE3) inhibitor that works as an antiplatelet and vasodilator. It's FDA-approved to reduce the symptoms of intermittent claudication — the leg pain that happens during walking or exercise in people with peripheral arterial disease — and to help improve walking distance. A generic version of cilostazol is available and can be substituted for brand-name Pletal.
Cilostazol cost and how to compare prices
Because cilostazol is generic, it's typically prescribed as the generic tablet rather than brand-name Pletal, but the price you pay can still differ a lot depending on which pharmacy fills it. There is currently no manufacturer savings card for cilostazol, so comparing pharmacy prices directly is the most reliable way to find a lower cost. Enter your ZIP code above to compare cilostazol prices at pharmacies near you across Rx.com's network of 60,000+ locations.
Cilostazol vs. other options for leg pain and clotting risk
Cilostazol isn't the only medication used for circulation or clotting-related concerns, and it works differently than several related drugs. Pentoxifylline is another medication sometimes used for claudication symptoms. Antiplatelet medications like clopidogrel and aspirin, and anticoagulants like warfarin and rivaroxaban, are used for different clotting-prevention purposes and are not direct substitutes for cilostazol — your provider chooses based on your specific condition.
Cilostazol safety information
Cilostazol carries a boxed warning: it is contraindicated in patients with heart failure of any severity, because PDE3 inhibitors as a class have been shown to decrease survival in patients with class III-IV heart failure. It should also not be combined with certain strong CYP3A4 or CYP2C19 inhibitor medications without following dose-reduction guidance from your provider. Common side effects include headache, diarrhea, abnormal stools, dizziness, and palpitations, and cilostazol can cause a faster heart rate or other heart rhythm changes; rarely, it can lower blood cell counts. Cilostazol should be taken on an empty stomach, 30 minutes before or 2 hours after meals. This is general information, not medical advice — talk with your provider or pharmacist about whether cilostazol is right for you.
