Pentoxifylline
Pentoxifylline, also called oxpentifylline, is a derivative of xanthine. Pentoxifylline is used to
improve symptoms of a certain blood flow problem in the legs or arms, caused by intermittent
claudication due to occlusive artery disease. Pentoxifylline decreases muscle ache or pain or
cramps during exercise or walking, caused by intermittent claudication. As a hemorheological
agent, its actions help blood flow more easily through narrowed arteries. As more blood flows,
it increases the amount of oxygen delivered by the blood as and when muscles need more, for
example during exercise, allowing the patient to walk more, thereby allowing the user to
increase the duration of physical activity like walking or exercise.
Pentoxifylline is sold under many brand names including Trental, Pentoxil, and Pentoxifylline
SR.

How does it work?
