4.4 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 myocardial
infarction, left ventricular outflow obstruction or haemodynamic
instability (e.g. decompensated heart
failure).
Patients being treated with regular oral doses of PERSANTIN Retard
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 readjustment of therapy may be
necessary after changes in
dipyridamole dosage. (See Interactions).
