摘要
The US FDA has approved two drugs for the management of intermittent claudication: pentoxifylline and cilostazol. The mechanism of action that provides symptom relief with pentoxifylline is poorly understood but is thought to involve red blood cell deformability as well as a reduction in fibrinogen concentration, platelet adhesiveness and whole blood viscosity. The recommended dose of pentoxifylline is 400mg three times daily with meals. Cilostazol is a potent, reversible, phosphodiesterase III inhibitor. The inhibition of phosphodiesterase allows for the increased availability of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). cAMP mediates many agonist-induced platelet inhibitory, vasodilatory and vascular antiproliferative responses. Cilostazol, at a dose of 100mg twice daily, is recommended to be taken 30 minutes before or 2 hours after breakfast and dinner.
