Pentoxifylline is used for:
Treating intermittent claudication (pain, cramping, numbness, or weakness in the foot, hip, thigh, or buttocks) in certain patients. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Pentoxifylline is a xanthine derivative blood flow enhancer. It works by thinning the blood and improving red blood cell flexibility, causing the blood to flow more freely through the veins.
Do NOT use Pentoxifylline if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Pentoxifylline or to methylxanthines (eg, theophylline, caffeine, theobromine)
- you have had recent bleeding in the brain or eye
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
