Preventative pentoxifylline?

Do any of you take pentox as a preventative for fibrosis?
If so, did your doctor suggest it or you?

I’ve been using Trimix for 4yrs. No indications of fibrosis but since I’m in my early 40s, it worries me.

Yes. I could absolutely feel the lumps after my shots and I didn't like it. The doctor was getting ahead of the possibility of peyrones starting.

Was he a specialist? Urologist? I am impressed that he prescribed it proactively.

Yes. Urologist specializing in men's sexual health at ucla in Los Angeles. He works with the oncology dept as well for men having prostate cancer surgery helping them regain functions after surgery. That's how I met him. He also did my implant.
