Pentoxifylline Prolonged Release

Pentoxifylline is a medication that improves blood flow by reducing blood viscosity, helping blood circulate more easily through small blood vessels.

Uses & Benefits

• Improves circulation: Helps blood flow through narrowed or damaged blood vessels.
• Peripheral arterial disease (PAD): May help reduce pain and cramping in the legs when walking due to poor circulation.
• Tissue oxygenation: May improve oxygen delivery to tissues by supporting blood flow.
• Prolonged-release formulation: Releases the medication gradually for a longer-lasting effect.

Common Side Effects

• Nausea and indigestion
• Headache or dizziness
• Flushing
• Abdominal discomfort

Important Information
Pentoxifylline is not suitable for everyone. Caution is needed in people with bleeding disorders or those taking blood-thinning medication. Benefits for circulation-related symptoms may take several weeks to develop.
