Pentotren solution for infusions 0.5 mg/ml. 200 ml. vial

Description

Pentotren composition and form of release
The active ingredient is pentoxifylline.
Pentotren is produced in the form of a solution (0.5 mg / ml) for infusion.

Pharmacological properties
It is an agent that causes vasodilation. It is a methylxanthine derivative. Its action is associated with the inhibition of phosphodiesterase and the accumulation of cAMP in vascular smooth muscle cells, blood cells, and other organs and tissues. It inhibits the aggregation of erythrocytes, platelets, increases their flexibility, reduces the increased concentration of fibrinogen in the blood, enhances fibrinolysis, thus reducing blood viscosity, improving its rheological properties. It also causes unexpressed myotropic vasodilatation, reducing OPSS, has a positive inotropic effect (increases the force of contraction of the heart). As a result, microcirculation and oxygen supply to tissues are improved. Slightly improves coronary circulation.

Pentotren is used:

• with atherosclerotic encephalopathy;

• with obliterating endarteritis;
• with angioneuropathy (Raynaud’s disease);
• in case of impaired blood circulation of the eye (circulatory failure in the retina, choroid);
• in case of dysfunction of the inner ear associated with vascular pathology.

Contraindications:

• if you are allergic to pentoxifylline, other methylxanthines;
