What is Pentoxifylline and what is it used for:
Pentoxifylline, sold under the brand name Trental, is a medication used to improve blood flow. It works by reducing the viscosity, or thickness, of the blood, which helps it flow more easily through the blood vessels. It is primarily used to treat peripheral arterial disease (PAD), a condition in which the blood vessels in the legs and feet become narrow or blocked, causing pain and discomfort.
How to take Pentoxifylline:
Pentoxifylline is taken orally, usually three times a day with meals. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. It may take several weeks for the full benefits of the medication to be felt.
Possible side effects of Pentoxifylline:
Pentoxifylline may cause some side effects, including:
Nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain
Headache or dizziness
Flushing or feeling warm
Rash or itching
If any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately.
Precautions and warnings for Pentoxifylline:
Before taking Pentoxifylline, inform your doctor if you have any medical conditions, such as liver or kidney disease. It may interact with certain medications, including blood thinners and other medications used to improve blood flow.
Pentoxifylline is not recommended during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. It may also pass into breast milk, so it is important to consult your doctor before taking Pentoxifylline while breastfeeding.
It is important to attend regular doctor appointments and report any new or worsening symptoms to your healthcare provider while taking Pentoxifylline. Trental (Pentoxifylline) is a prescription medication and should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
