Pletal (generic name: cilostazol; brand names include: Pletoz) is an antiplatelet medicine.

Pletal is used for treating symptoms of intermittent claudication (leg pain) that occurs during walking or exercise.

This type of pain is caused by poor blood circulation (peripheral vascular disease) and is usually relieved by rest.
