Information, Symptoms, Treatments and Resources

What is trental?

Generic Name: pentoxifylline
Other Brand Names: Pentoxifylline, Pentoxil
Pentoxifylline changes the shape of red blood cells in your blood. This makes it easier for these blood cells to fit into small arteries (blood vessels).
Pentoxifylline is used to improve blood flow. Improved blood flow helps to reduce leg cramps and other symptoms of vascular disease (disease related to veins and arteries).
Pentoxifylline may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
