I am not 100% certain, but it could be because the FDA has started a crackdown on the availability of medications that were never approved to begin with.

They have had to force some companies to remove them from the market and stop manufacturing them, until such a time as they can be properly tested for safety.

Have you spoken to your doctor about an alternative?

Trental (pentoxifylline) certainly remains an FDA-approved drugs. While there are still spotty and unexplained shortages, as of now (late October 2010) they are not nearly as bad, and you should be able to find it either easily or with a moderate amount of searching.

I used to take Trental pentoxyphylline 400mgs for circulation problems in Mexico. The same pharmacy has only Kendrick Lab's 400mgs pentoxyphylline. Are the qualities comparable in both companies? My language skills is Spanish do not include medical subtleties.even though I live in Mexico. Thank you.
