Question 1

why would some people feel the vasolidation affects of 100mg dipyridamole x 3 a day, more than others? 100mg tablet after an hour i feel heavy, racing heart, wired, rushy, flushed. i need the medication but this reaction is horrible?

Accepted Answer

: These symptoms may well be due to dipyridamole and attributable to vasodilatation. You must contact your physician to see whether dose adjustment is possible to reduce these symptoms. Since you have not provided an indication for the drug, it is not possible to give you any further suggestions. See your doctor as soon as you can. Good luck.

Question 2

why is dipyridamole on beer labels?

Accepted Answer

What are u drinking?: Well i never saw this on a beer label. Caution is advised in taking that drug with alcohol because of bleeding issues but i never saw it on a label. Certainly, the drug is not an ingredient of any beer so  it could be a warning but i never saw it. What brand of beer did you see that on and how much did you drink?

Question 8

can you describe what dipyridamole is?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Dipyridamole (dp-brand name persantine) is a platelet inhibitor and has been studied in conjunction with warfarin or coumadin. Dp acts to block the uptake of adenosine. In higher intravenous doses it causes vasodilation-specifically coronary vasodilation- and is therefore commonly used to perform pharmacological nuclear myocardial perfusion studies, commonly known as a nuclear stress test.

Question 9

what is the medication dipyridamole 25 mg used for in humans?

Accepted Answer

Vasodilator: Dipyridamole is a vasodilator -- that means it dilates and relaxes the blood vessel through its indirect action on the vessel smooth muscle.  In the past, it has been used for chest pain and cardioprotection -- but these days it has gone by the wayside because of the extensive use of nitroglycerin.  It is still used in combination with Aspirin for stroke prevention.
