Pentoxifylline
Pentoxifylline is a medication used primarily to improve blood flow in patients with circulation problems. It works by decreasing the viscosity of the blood, which enhances its flow through the blood vessels. This action helps in increasing the oxygen delivery to tissues and is beneficial for individuals with peripheral artery disease. Pentoxifylline tablets are well-suited for managing symptoms of intermittent claudication, a condition characterized by pain and cramping in the legs due to inadequate blood flow. The medication is also utilized to improve microcirculation in various vascular conditions. Patients often experience improved exercise tolerance and reduced discomfort with regular use. Pentoxifylline is available in oral tablet form, offering convenient administration.Active substance:
