How effective are Opalmon 5 mcg tablets from Japan for numbness and pain in limbs (lumbar spinal stenosis, thromboangiitis obliterans, alfaprost limfadex)?
Opalmon tablets contain limaprost alfadex, an oral prostaglandin E1 analog. It works by affecting vascular smooth muscle cells, causing constriction or dilation, on platelets causing aggregation or disaggregation and on spinal neurons causing pain. By this, Opalmon tablets improve peripheral circulatory failure with a vasodilator action and an antithrombotic effect, improve poor blood flow in the nerve tissue in cervical spondylosis and normalize nerve function. As the result, this medicine effectively helps to relieve such symptoms as numbness, pain or coldness in limbs (both legs and arms) and to significantly improve walking ability.
Who should take Opalmon tablets 5 mcg from Japan?
Opalmon tablets are recommended for patients with thromboangiitis obliterans and acquired lumbar spinal canal stenosis (in patients with bilateral intermittent claudication showing normal SLR test result). Also, Japanese researches found that this medicine is effective for the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis patients with concurrent osteoporosis (especially elderly patients) and patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (T. Kinchiku, Y. Imajo et al. “Comparisons on Efficacy of Elcatonin and Limaprost Alfadex in Patients with Lumbar Spinal Stenosis and Concurrent Osteoporosis: A Preliminary Study Using a Crossover Design”. Asian Spine Journal, 2014; 8(4): 469-475).
