Pentoxifylline
Pentoxifylline tablets are designed to improve blood circulation by decreasing blood viscosity and increasing red blood cell flexibility. These properties help enhance oxygen delivery to tissues, particularly in areas with compromised blood flow. It is commonly used to treat conditions like intermittent claudication, a symptom of peripheral artery disease. Pentoxifylline may also support the management of chronic circulatory disorders and improve microcirculation in various tissues. The tablets are taken orally, and their effects contribute to better vascular health. They are a valuable option for individuals seeking to enhance circulation and tissue oxygenation.Active substance:
