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?
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.
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.
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!
hi guys im just a little bit confuse about what doctor said that boiling has no effect on stability of HCV outside the body but this article said heat have a drastic effect on HCV life
so that means boiling can kill HCV ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2834657/ )
HCVcc in culture medium was found to survive 37°C and room temperature (RT, 25 ± 2°C) for 2 and 16 days, respectively, while the virus was relatively stable at 4°C without drastic loss of infectivity for at least 6 weeks.
It should not be used if you are taking anticoagulant medications, including warfarin, aspirin, aspirin-containing products, NSAIDs, or antiplatelet agents (eg, ticlopidine, clopidogrel, dipyridamole). I am not sure of what other potential drug interactions.
I would discuss the use of this drug with your urologist and you should mention it whenever a healthcare professional inquires about the medications you are taking.
I looked at the package and ASASANTIN is a brand name for DIPYRIDAMOLE/ASPIRIN.
Thought I would clarify that.
You are in a tight spot right now but you are going to have to figure out what is more important here, your financial stability or your mental stability. Maybe your kids will have to go to public school, you may have to downsize your living arrangements etc. I know this is easier said than done but to rely on your husband right now is only going to get you further in the hole. You said you love the stability you have but i dont see it. I hope you continue with alanon.
Other SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, serotogenic drugs, NSAIDs, alcohol, tryptophan, aspirin, warfarin, clopidogrel, ticlopidine, dipyridamole, TCAs, phenothiazines, thioxanthines, butyrophenones, mefloquine, bupropion, tramadol, desipramine, clomipramine, nortriptyline, risperidone, thioridazine, haloperidol, flucainamide, propafenone, metoprolol, carbamazepine, ketoconazole, omeprazole, esomeprazole, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, lansoprazole, ticlopidine, cimetidine, digoxin & other CNS drugs.
X-ray is taken to determine if the bone is solid for implant placement in my pracrice. Primary stability is critically important for successful osseointegration. It appears that tr33704's condition did'nt achieve primay stability and final ossointegration was unsuccessful.
the toes grip the ground for stability and do so more often when people have flat feet. when the toes do this, the knuckle portion rubs against the shoes, causing discoloration and callusing.
i recommend wearing a shoe with a higher toe box to prevent the rubbing. also, wearing an orthotic can help give you stability and prevent the toes from gripping the ground as much when walking.
s out there for people to be labeled at inadequent in mental stability when the thyroid ( or not having one) isreally the problem.
If you google up iodine and Free T3 hormone you will see a direct link to low functioning or non thyroid individuals and a connection on mental stability with this condition.
My husband is BP I, has been hospitalized but has had 10 + years of relative stability. Certainly there have been highs and lows, but more similar to cyclothymia than the full blown mania/depression episodes. He is exploring the idea of reducing/going off of lithium. He is 50, had his first major episode at 17, had significant cycling in his 20's and mid 30's including job loss, suicidal issues, schizophrenia overlays, but his last really major incident was probably 14 years ago.
