SPECIAL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Among other properties, dipyridamole acts as a potent vasodilator. It
should therefore be used with
caution in patients with severe coronary artery disease including
unstable angina and/or recent
2
myocardial infarction, left ventricular outflow obstruction or
haemodynamic instability (e.g.
decompensated heart failure).
Patients being treated with regular oral doses of Dipyridamol Actavis
should not receive additional
intravenous dipyridamole. Clinical experience suggests that patients
being treated with oral
dipyridamole who also require pharmacological stress testing with
intravenous dipyridamole should
discontinue drugs containing oral dipyridamole for twenty-four hours
prior to stress testing.
In patients with myasthenia gravis readjustments of therapy may be
necessary after changes in
dipyridamole dosage
