1. What Fripass is and what it is used for

Fripass belongs to a group of medicines called antithrombotics and antiplatelet agents that
prevent the formation of blood clots and the aggregation of platelets which
contribute to the formation of the thrombus.
Fripass is indicated for the treatment of intermittent claudication (pain caused by an
insufficient supply of blood to the legs that occurs during walking).
Fripass is indicated in patients in whom lifestyle changes (including quitting smoking,
exercise programs and other appropriate measures) have not sufficiently reduced the
symptoms of intermittent claudication.

2. What you need to know before taking Fripass

Do not take Fripass

• if you are allergic to cilostazol or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
• if you suffer from a condition called "heart failure".
• if you experience persistent chest pain when at rest, or if you have had a “heart attack” or any heart surgery in the last six months.
• if you suffer from or have previously suffered from fainting caused by a heart condition, or from severe heart rhythm disturbances.
• if you know you have a condition that increases the risk of bleeding or bruising, for example:
• one or more active ulcers in the stomach.
• a stroke that occurred in the last six months.
• eye problems if you suffer from diabetes.
• if your blood pressure is not well controlled.
• if you are taking both acetylsalicylic acid and clopidogrel, or any combination of two or more medicines that can increase the risk of bleeding (see Other medicines and Fripass) if you have a severe kidney disease or a severe or moderate liver disease.
• if you are pregnant (see Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility).

Warnings and precautions
Before taking Fripass, tell your doctor if you have heart problems or suffer from diabetes.
During treatment with Fripass, it is important to inform your doctor if you easily develop
bruising, bleeding, fever and sore throat.
Treatment should be discontinued promptly in case of retinal hemorrhage
(bleeding of the retina, a membrane that lines the inside of the eye).
If you need to undergo surgery or a dental extraction
inform healthcare professionals that you are taking Fripass.

Health education notes
It is important to continue the changes made to your lifestyle (stopping smoking,
correct diet and adequate physical activity) and lipid-lowering (to decrease

thrombi) therapies in order to limit the risk of cardiovascular events, such as, for example, cardiac
and cerebral ischemia (suffering of the heart and brain due to reduced oxygen supply), renal
insufficiency (severe alteration of kidney function) and diffuse vascular disease (narrowing
of the arteries).
