Flexital 400 MG Description

rculatory problem in which narrowed vessels lead to partial or total peripheral vascular occlusion, resulting in reduced blood flow. Flexital tablet contains Pentoxifylline as its active ingredient. Pentoxifylline works by decreasing the thickness (viscosity) of blood. Hence, improve blood flow in patients with circulatory problems and reduce aching, cramping, and tiredness in the hands and feet. Flexital tablet duration and dosage should be as advised by your doctor. Tell your doctor about all other medications you are taking, as some may affect or be affected by this medicine. Avoid abrupt stoppage of Flexital tablet without consulting your doctor, as it can cause clinical worsening of your condition.
