What is Pentoxifylline, and what it is used for?
Pentoxifylline is used for the treatment of patients with intermittent claudication on the basis of chronic occlusive arterial disease of the limbs. Pentoxifylline can ameliorate the function and signs/symptoms but is not evaluated to replace the more definitive therapy, such as surgical bypass, or elimination of arterial obstructions during the treatment of peripheral vascular or peripheral artery disease.

Digestive and central nervous system adverse reactions are dose related. If patients develop these effects it is recommended that the dosage be reduced to one tablet twice daily (800 mg/day).
