==Overdosage==
 
Information on acute overdosage with PLETAL in humans is limited. The signs and symptoms of an acute overdose can be anticipated to be those of excessive pharmacologic effect: severe [[headache]], [[diarrhea]], [[hypotension]], [[tachycardia]], and possibly [[cardiac arrhythmias]]. The patient should be carefully observed and given supportive treatment. Since cilostazol is highly protein-bound, it is unlikely that it can be efficiently removed by [[hemodialysis]] or [[peritoneal dialysis]].
The oral LD50 of cilostazol is > 5.0 g/kg in mice and rats and > 2.0 g/kg in dogs.<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = PLETAL (CILOSTAZOL) TABLET [OTSUKA AMERICA PHARMACEUTICAL, INC.] | url =http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=24d75b58-bafb-4440-b8d7-4f4079c08b0b | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate =  }}</ref>
