Zocil Tablet 50 mg contains Cilostazol, a selective phosphodiesterase type III (PDE III) inhibitor used primarily to improve symptoms associated with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), particularly intermittent claudication. Intermittent claudication is a condition characterized by pain, cramping, or fatigue in the legs during walking due to reduced blood flow caused by narrowed arteries.

Cilostazol works by inhibiting phosphodiesterase III, leading to increased levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in platelets and blood vessels. This results in inhibition of platelet aggregation and vasodilation, thereby improving blood flow to the limbs. Through these mechanisms, Zocil Tablet helps increase walking distance, reduce leg pain during exercise, and improve overall mobility and quality of life in patients with peripheral vascular disorders.

Zocil Tablet 50 mg is commonly prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes lifestyle modifications such as smoking cessation, regular exercise, and management of underlying conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. Its oral tablet form allows convenient administration and supports long-term therapy under medical supervision.
