Trental
Trental, containing the active ingredient Pentoxifylline, is primarily used to improve blood flow in patients with circulation problems. It works by decreasing the thickness of blood, allowing it to flow more easily through narrowed vessels, thus enhancing oxygen delivery throughout the body. This medication is commonly prescribed for conditions such as peripheral artery disease and intermittent claudication, which can cause pain during walking. Trental tablets are an effective choice for managing symptoms related to poor circulation. Consistent use can lead to improved physical performance for patients. It is generally taken orally, with or without food, based on the physician's instructions. Trental's formulation is designed to maximize absorption and effectiveness.Active substance:
