Isoxsuprine is an oral medication that is used primarily to treat symptoms associated with poor blood circulation, such as pain, cramping, and numbness in the legs or feet.

Isoxsuprine works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, which helps to improve blood flow to specific areas of the body. It also helps to prevent blood clots.

Some common side effects of Isoxsuprine may include headache, dizziness, nervousness, nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, and increased heart rate. However, these side effects are usually mild and go away on their own.

Isoxsuprine should be taken orally as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is usually taken with food to minimize stomach upset. The dosage and frequency will depend on your condition and response to treatment.

It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications, supplements, and herbal products you are taking as some may interact with Isoxsuprine. Certain medications, such as beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers, may interact negatively with Isoxsuprine.

The safety of Isoxsuprine during pregnancy is not well-established. It is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider before using Isoxsuprine if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

Isoxsuprine is not typically recommended for use in children. The safety and effectiveness of this medication in pediatric patients have not been established.

The effects of Isoxsuprine may take some time to become noticeable. It is important to continue taking the medication as prescribed and follow up with your healthcare provider if you do not see any improvement in your symptoms.
