Introduction: In Peripheral vascular disease Peripheral vascular disease refers to the condition of disturbed blood circulation in blood vessels. Flowpent 20mg/1ml Injection prevents blood from clotting inside the veins and arteries. This helps the blood flow freely around your body thereby preventing a heart attack or stroke (or deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism). It helps prevent the formation of blood clots and also prevents the existing ones from growing bigger in size. Make appropriate lifestyle changes (such as eating healthy and staying active) to maximize the effectiveness of this medicine. In Intermittent claudication Intermittent claudication refers to muscle pain on mild exertion (ache, cramp, numbness or sense of fatigue), classically in the calf muscle, which occurs during exercise or even walking, and it gets better with a short period of rest. Flowpent 20mg/1ml Injection helps relieve this pain in the legs that is caused due to disturbed blood supply in the legs. It helps prevent formation of blood clots, improves blood flow and maintains free flowing of blood in your body.

Benefits: Your doctor or nurse will give you this medicine. Kindly do not self administer.

Description: Flowpent 20mg/1ml Injection is used to treat peripheral vascular disease (poor circulation to the arms and legs) and intermittent claudication (pain on walking or at rest caused by poor circulation to the legs). It works by increasing the blood flow to the arms and legs. Flowpent 20mg/1ml Injection is administered under the supervision of a doctor. Your doctor will decide the dose and duration of the medicine for you. You should continue all your other medicines that are advised by the doctor for your long-term treatment even after this injection. Common side effects of this medicine include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, flushing (sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck, and trunk), and weakness. Consult your doctor if these effects bother you. This medicine is used with caution for some people. Thus, you must inform the doctor if you are suffering from any liver or kidney disease. Also, let your doctor know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding and about all the other medications that you are taking regularly.

How to Use: Flowpent 20mg/1ml Injection is a peripheral vasodilator. It works by decreasing the thickness (viscosity) of blood, allowing it to pass more easily through the blood vessels. This effect is beneficial in peripheral vascular disease, where the blood vessels in the arms and legs are narrowed.
