What good is writing a review like the one reviewer ask what is longest time period you can continue to take the medication and no... is not a good answer for as long as your doctor prescribes it. How long? 1 year, 2 years, the rest of your life. how about an answer.

just finished first month,too soon to tell its not like zantac where you have heartburn and you take it and it works in 30min. it takes time for trental to buildup in the tissues.will have to give it more time a couple of more months.wanted to try pletal,but will wait and give this a chance.

Comment from: Tedgatz 75 or over Male 6 months to less than 1 year Patient Published: July 27

I had the worst pain of my life, with 100% artery blockage in my left leg, and 70% in my right leg. My old Doctor friend prescribed pentoxiflline, said it would take several weeks to take effect, and it began working, and I haven't had any pain since. I take two 400's in the morning and two at bedtime. My question is, how long can I take this medication. I started taking these about 10 mo's ago. I have no side effects and can play golf 3 times per week, I am 88 and shoot my age. Thanks, Ted G

Side effects were massive: vomiting, headache and hypotension. The blood circulation effect worked, but afraid of those other effects!

My left leg has 100 % blockage an right has 70 %. My pain level was 8 to 9. Oxycodone was being used + Tylonal etc, heavy doses. After 6 weeks the pain went away using pentoxiflline. I have been pain free for two months, hopefully this will continue.

Comment from: 65-74 Female Patient Published: October 28

I been on Pentoxifylline for nearly 4 yrs. it worked terrific for the first year then I noticed I was getting slight cramps in knees and legs. I passed if off to old age but this gradually got worse. The leg pain increased and the MD upped dosage to 6/day. The legs/knee cramps continued to get worse and I developed a blood clot-that may be unrelated or not. Much PT and Vit C therapy helped the knee/leg issue but finally, the legs felt like matchsticks when I got out of bed - no control or power. When I stopped the Pentoxifhylline and went on coumadin -OMG the next day I felt I could walk a mile. It is possible that Pentoxiphylline has a max use time. Vit C therapy helped get the muscles out of tightning/knotting up. But, I sure went thru a painful month trying to resolve the leg muscle issue. Pay attention to any leg or knee tightning you feel. It is not old age it is from the pentoxiphyllin. You may need to go off it a while then go back.
