Considered “possibly effective” for increasing blood supply to treat peripheral disease (arteriosclerosis obliterans, thromboangiitis obliterans, diabetic vascular disease, nocturnal leg cramps, Raynaud's disease, frost bite, ischemic ulcer, thrombophlebitis) and for mild-to-moderate symptoms associated with organic mental disorders

Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted. Nylidrin has been evaluated for use as a tocolytic (Kurki, 1991).
It is not known if nylidrin is excreted in breast milk. Breast-feeding is not recommended by the manufacturer.
Nylidrin is a peripheral vasodilator; this results from direct relaxation of vascular smooth muscle and beta-agonist action. Nylidrin does not appear to affect cutaneous blood flow; it reportedly increases blood flow to ischemic tissues with minimal blood pressure changes and increases cardiac output
