The adverse effects experienced are similar to those with use of adenosine. While adverse effects are less frequent with dipyridamole (47% of patients), they tend to be more serious than those associated with adenosine. The most common adverse effects of dipyridamole are chest pain (19%), headache (12%), and hypotension (4.6%). In addition, 12% of patients require aminophylline for reversal of adverse effects.
Persantine is dipyridamole, but you will have to get extended release tablets as the two asprin and dipyridamole should not be taken together. Don’t change the medications without discussing with your doctor. So, consult him and then decide.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
What is nonreversible apical inferior wall and what does it mean when they say no dipyridamole-induced reversible ischemia .there is mild defect in the apical inferior wall that is not reversible at rest.
While you are taking Aggrenox (aspirin/dipyridamole), you should avoid taking over-the-counter pain medicine, especially any other products containing aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Also, Avoid alcohol, or drink a minimal amount, as the combination of Aggrenox and alcohol could cause stomach bleeding.
Some of the alternatives include aspirin, Clopidogrel (Plavix), ticlodipine (Ticlid), dipyridamole (Persantine). Another alternative is Heparin injection. Different situations require different levels of anticoagulation. It is important to discuss the best treatment option with a physician.
I suffered a mild stroke (blood clot) Consultant prescribed Clopidogrel but cannot tolerate side effects. Then consultant prescribed Dipyridamole. I cannot tolerate this either. Severe headache, vomiting and diarrhoea. Has anybody got a different medication they are on?
Since I assume the NSAID helps by reducing inflammation, would taking some every day keep the inflammation at bay enough to retard the long-term degeneration to a much greater degree than doing without? I should say that I'm not plagued by much pain--my problem is generally one of restriction of movement. Because of the lack of pain, I try not to take NSAIDs much, if for no other reason than to avoid rebound headaches.
So i was being a little retard an dicided to swing my key chain around i was holding the keys and the material part was swinging around and smacked my tummy, will my baby be okay ?
ECG last month showed SVES, RBBB. This week he has stress test with dipyridamole protocol, and injection of thallium-201. The result showed "evidence of mild, small to medium size, irreversible perfusion defect in the inferior/inferolateral wall (mid to basal level)." Could you explain what this means? Does he need to have surgery or pacemaker? thanks in advance for your help.
Im 9 weeks one day doc gave me cyclogest 200mg one at night he z he don't think I need it but because I had previous loss he z I should use it for two weeks any body used this and had good results
this month im taking 200mg and i am wondering if anyone has luck with clomid at this dose after no response to 100 mg?
False negative imaging is especially common when exercise is submaximal or in dipyridamole/adenosine studies of patients with severe obstructions of all three major coronary vessels. False positive scanning may be caused by signal attenuation from an elevated left hemidiaphragm or from breast tissue. These artifactual defects can be identified by performing a gated perfusion study to assess regional wall motion.
I know all of that, about condoms, but in the spur of the moment - well, I can turn into a total retard when it comes to sex, when it gets beyond a certain point. I am hoping for the best and will get tested. I may use this thread to follow up on how my tests and things go.
No one is calling you a "retard" first of all. It's customary here to give the simplest answer first because you didn't clarify what your question even was in your first statement.
Secondly, if you get a positive you are pregnant. False positives are incredibly rare and usually involve hormone treatments.
False negatives are common though.
Pharmacological stress Tc-99m MIBI scan was performed with Dipyridamole given at arate of 0.14 mg/Kg/min over 4 minutes followed by injection of radio tracer 6 minutes later.
Findings are: Peak stress images revealed hypoperfused infero-septal and apical segment, which showed reversal at rest.
Impression: Findings are consistent with infero-septal and apical reversible ischemia.
Thanks all!
This could or couldn't be a pregnancy problem but have any of you had an annoying eye lid twitch happen to you. Lol. I'm just curious. Feel like I've gone full retard when it twitches.
