A. The FDA has approved two drugs for the treatment of intermittent claudication. Pentoxifylline (Trental) has been available for several years. A new drug was approved in 1999 called cilostazol (Pletal). Cilostazol is prescribed by many doctors to help with the pain of walking caused by intermittent claudication. Your physician can tell you if either medication is right for you or in combination with exercise therapy or other treatments. You can find out more about cilostazol online or by calling 800.562.3974.
