    About this item
    DESCRIPTION:

    Pentoxifylline is useful in treating peripheral vascular and cerebrovascular diseases associated with impaired microcirculation.

    Key Benefits:

  • Pentoxifylline is a xanthine derivative drug.
  • These medications inhibit phosphodiesterase, which is a multi-purpose enzyme within the body that is used to regulate blood vessels and their tone.
  • It is often administered to dogs suffering from skin ulcers, due to its inflammation-reducing properties.
  • It is also useful for dogs experiencing insufficient blood flow to certain areas of the body.

    Formulated For: Intended for horses, cats and dogs only.
