Taking Pentoxifylline For Poor Foot Circulation

I have just started taking Pentoxifylline and am wondering if anyone has experienced bad side effects? I have very poor circulation in my feet. It seems too soon, but I believe I am already feeling better. I am taking it for failed tarsal tunnel surgery and am interested in talking with other people about this drug. I am a 67 year old female. Seems to be quite difficult to find other people taking it. My brother is very concerned about me having a brain bleed. Are there any statistics on this? Any information you can provide will be deeply appreciated. Thank you.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of Pentoxifylline as possibly including nausea, gas, dizziness, and headache.

Ref: Pentoxifylline Information

Has your doctor advised you to take any special precautions? Usually, it's best to avoid other substances that may cause additional blood thinning, such as Aspirin, and NSAIDS.

Are you on any other medications?
