AMERICAN PENTRAL 400 – 15 TABLETS

AMERICAN PENTRAL 400 contains Pentoxifylline, a vasodilator used to improve blood circulation, especially in patients suffering from peripheral vascular disease (PVD). It works by decreasing blood viscosity, allowing better flow through the arteries and veins, particularly in the limbs where poor circulation is common. By improving oxygen delivery to the muscles and tissues, AMERICAN PENTRAL 400 helps reduce pain and cramping in the legs, making it easier for patients to engage in physical activities.

Usage Instructions:
Take AMERICAN PENTRAL 400 as prescribed by your doctor, usually 1-2 times daily.
Swallow the tablet whole with water, preferably after a meal to avoid stomach upset.
Follow your physician’s guidance for the recommended duration of the treatment.
Medicinal Advantages:
Improves Circulation: Enhances blood flow, especially in the limbs, by reducing blood viscosity.
Reduces Pain and Cramps: Alleviates symptoms of poor circulation, such as leg cramps, muscle pain, and fatigue.
Peripheral Vascular Support: Helps manage and treat peripheral vascular diseases by improving oxygen delivery to tissues.
Better Mobility: Assists patients in performing daily physical activities by easing pain associated with walking or standing.
Mechanism of Action:
AMERICAN PENTRAL 400 (Pentoxifylline) works as a vasodilator that decreases blood viscosity, making it easier for blood to flow through narrowed or obstructed blood vessels. It improves oxygen delivery to tissues, particularly in the limbs, reducing pain caused by intermittent claudication (leg pain during exercise) and improving overall circulation in those with peripheral vascular disease.

Off-Label Uses:
May be used for certain cases of cerebral ischemia (reduced blood flow to the brain).
Sometimes prescribed to treat vascular dementia by improving blood flow in the brain.
Expert Advice:
Take AMERICAN PENTRAL 400 regularly for the best results.
Engage in moderate physical activity, such as walking, to further improve circulation.
Avoid smoking, as it can worsen peripheral vascular disease and reduce the effectiveness of the medication.
