Dipyridamole Oral, Intravenous and SoluCLENZ Rx

• Generic Name: dipyridamole
• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names: Persantine, Persantine IV

Dipyridamole is used to lessen the chance of stroke or other serious medical problems that may occur when a blood vessel is blocked by blood clots. It is given only when there is a larger-than-usual chance that these problems may occur. For example, it is given to people who have had diseased heart valves replaced by mechanical valves, because dangerous blood clots are especially likely to occur in these patients. Dipyridamole works by helping to prevent dangerous blood clots from forming.

Dipyridamole may also be used for other heart and blood conditions as determined by your doctor.

Dipyridamole is also sometimes used as part of a medical test that shows how well blood is flowing to your heart.

Dipyridamole is available only with your doctor's prescription.
