Blood-viscosity-reducers are used to treat intermittent claudication. They work by making your blood less thick, which helps it flow more easily through your blood vessels.

By improving blood flow, these medications can help reduce symptoms like pain and cramping in your legs.

PENTOXIFYLLINE reduces leg pain or cramping during exercise or walking in people with poor circulation. It works by increasing blood flow and the amount of oxygen that gets to your muscles. This decreases symptoms, so you can walk farther without discomfort. It belongs to a group of medications called antiplatelets.
