How to use

Drug Class and Mechanism
Pletаl is a phosphodiesterase type 3 inhibitor. Pletаl works by widening arteries that supply blood to the legs and it also decreases the ability of platelets (particles in the blood involved in blood clotting) to stick together.

If several hours have passed or if it is nearing time for the next dose, do not double the dose to catch up, unless advised by your health care provider. Do not take 2 doses at once. If more than one dose is missed, contact your health care provider or phаrmаcist.
