I began taking Pletal for leg pain due to my PAD. I got almost immediate relief from some of the pain within just a few days. However, it is causing extreme leg headaches. Does anyone have any experience with this? Do the headaches go away after awhile? I am willing to deal with it for awhile. ## Yes, the headaches are well known common side effect of Pletal, which contains the active ingredient Cilostazol, you can see in our monograph that it is listed as the most commonly reported one: Side effects should taper off after about 4 to 6 weeks, as your body adjusts to the medication. If they persist, or are extremely severe, you should consult your doctor. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I just started taking platel an have a headache how long will they last

I do not and have never had claudication in my legs or anywhere else. In March of 2002 I was prescribed Pletal (Cilostazol) to "try" for a problem which was benign. After each of 2 (100 mg) doses I took, I experienced an unusual headache with a lot of pressure over my eyes. Stopped drug on doctor's advice. Almost immediately I seemed to note a mild change in my vision. Thinking I might need a change in my eyeglass prescription, I went to my ophthalmologist who was surprised to note a central retinal vein occlusion in my left eye with well-established hemorrhages in all 4 quadrants. (I had had a baseline exam by a retinologist not long before and there had been no sign of any retinal problems. The eye injections that are being used now to reduce swelling and preserve vision w...

My TRICARE Rx provider, ExpressScripts, is telling me that the Cilostazol 100mg is no longer available from the manufacturer, and neither is Pletal. CVS tells me that "they have a few left". Does the manufacturer intend to completely stop making this drug? Or do they intend to start making it again in the near future??? Thanks. Walter C. King ## There has been a shortage reported to the FDA since November, the manufacturers have stated that it is due to a lack of the raw materials needed to manufacture this medication. All current manufacturers list it as being back ordered and that they are making it available as they can. Is there anything else I can help with? ## No, but thanks for the reponse.
