User Reviews for Trental oral

I've just started taking Trental 400 sustained release so can't assess it yet but it's definitely available from Sanofi. September 2015. I've had to give a rating in order to post.

I have been on this med for about six months for Behecet's syndrome and have experienced at times severe dizzenes, swollen feet , and tiredness. I am asking my doctor to take me off asap and find trie another med.

I have Erythomelalgia and was prescribed Trental. I have been taking it for 3 weeks and my symptoms seem to be getting worse, not better. Not sure if this is the right medication to treat this condition.

drug makes me feel like a zombie

HAD LEG CRAMPS. GONE NOW.

81 year old male has an occluded abdominal aorta with very poor circulation in both legs for over 19 years. Trental seems to help prevent severe cramping while walking even though I can only walk short distance. I have not had any side effects that I am aware. I take 3 pills w/food 3 times per day.

brittle nails , ever since i took it, read somewhere it causes the nails to be brittle

I have taken Trental for several years,and have had no side effects. My pharmacist told me that it had been discontiued. They gave me Pentoxifylline, after taking them for a few days, I noticed that I was getting a headache so I stopped taking them.

I have been taking Trental for 11 and 1/2 years and have had no side effects that I know of.I take alot of meds. so all I know is that latetly it's not been working to well.I'm on the highest dose.Don't know if maybe I need more excercise.I get terrible cramping and pain at night.Oh and for those of you who are worried about it disappering from the market..don't worry it just gets scarce from time to time...

can it make me sleepy?

severe dizziness on occasion

My dermatologist prescribed this medication to help with a not so common skin condition, GA, and it worked wonders after 2 months of 400mg 3xdaily. Then my condition started to get bad again but I did not know that smoking (which I started up again recently)decreases the efficiency of the drug dramatically. I wish the doctor would have told me this before I started the medication but don't know if that is the total reason why my treatment failed. I am still taking it but am doubtful as to it's beneficial. I have had trouble in the past filling this prescription, but my pharmacist checked another pharmacy and they had it in, otherwise, no problems getting the medication. Is there anyone else out there that has an usual experience with this medication that effects their skin or other side effects? I hope this helps someone.Read More Read Less

Woe the agitation that has come on from on set of this drug. Will it go away?

This medication has worked for me for over 20 years.

I have also been told that Trental and Pentoxifylline are not being made any longer. Why??? This medication works. I tried Plavix once and it gave me terrible pains in my legs. Can we get the manufacturer to please make this medication??/

I have been taking this drug for 3yrs with great relief of my leg cramping! But,over the last 3 months my pharmacy and others have been unable to acquire it from the manufacturer.It is always on backorder!It's terrible not being able to get the drug that has helped you feel and live better! What is going on that the drug manufacturer is not supplying this to the pharmacies???

taken for 15 years with no side effects

I have been taking this drug for scleraderma for 25 years. It eliminated the ulcers on my fingers and as far as I am concerned is a Godsend. It certainly is available.

For those of you looking for info on Trental. I checked into this for my mom. The drug is backordered. I found nothing which stated from Sanofi-Aventis, or the FDA that the drug was discontinued. Hang in their.
