It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medication.

What does Cilostazol interact with?

Antaclast may interact with other medications, including blood thinners and certain heart medications.

Always discuss your current medications with a healthcare provider to ensure safe use.
