A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pentoxifylline does usually induce diarrhea: Pentoxifylline is usually prescribed in presence of peripheral vascular disease, and symptoms of claudication. The frequent adverse reactions are: irregular heartbeats, symptoms of intolerance, nausea, upper abdominal discomfort, however the presence of diarrhea is unusual. You should see the physician that describe you the medication, and perhaps he could switch it to another Prescription.
