Trental 400 Tablet PR

Product Overview

Trental 400 Tablet PR is prescribed for the treatment of peripheral vascular disease, a condition where blood circulation to the arms and legs is reduced, and for intermittent claudication, which causes pain in the legs while walking or at rest due to poor circulation. This medication works by improving blood flow to the limbs.

By enhancing circulation, Trental 400 Tablet PR helps reduce leg cramps and discomfort during walking. It also shows benefits in patients with liver damage caused by excessive alcohol consumption. Combining this medication with lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and quitting smoking can improve results.

Uses

Peripheral vascular disease (impaired blood circulation in limbs)

Intermittent claudication (leg pain due to poor blood flow)

Benefits

Trental 400 Tablet PR acts as a vasodilator, which reduces blood thickness and helps it flow more easily through narrowed blood vessels. This improves oxygen delivery to the arms and legs, relieving pain and preventing complications such as blood clots, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, heart attack, and stroke. Adopting a healthy diet and active lifestyle enhances the medication’s effectiveness.

Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and usually improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Contact your doctor if symptoms persist.

Common side effects include:

Headache

Dizziness or lightheadedness

Sleep disturbances

Flushing (warmth in face, neck, or chest)

Bloating and heartburn

Nausea or vomiting

Stomach discomfort

Weakness

How to Use

Take Trental 400 Tablet PR exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It should be taken with food to minimize stomach upset. Do not change your dose or stop the medication without consulting your healthcare provider.

How It Works

Trental 400 Tablet PR improves blood flow by reducing the thickness (viscosity) of blood, allowing it to circulate more easily through constricted blood vessels. This action helps relieve pain and cramping in patients with peripheral vascular disease and supports overall vascular health.
