Indications & Uses
Zocil is indicated for:
Pharmacology
Cilostazol is a medicine belonging to the quinolinone group of compounds. It works by specifically blocking an enzyme called phosphodiesterase III (PDE III) inside cells, which prevents the breakdown of a signalling molecule known as cAMP. This causes cAMP levels to rise within platelets and blood vessel walls, which in turn stops platelets from clumping together and helps the blood vessels widen.
