Drug Information
9 reviews for Dipyridamole
Dipyridamole is a medicine that helps stop blood clots from forming. It is often used together with aspirin to lower the risk of another stroke, and with warfarin after heart valve replacement.
What is it used for?
- Preventing stroke or "mini-stroke" (TIA), usually together with aspirin
- Preventing clots after heart valve replacement, together with warfarin
How does it work?
Dipyridamole makes platelets (tiny blood cells that form clots) less sticky and also widens blood vessels. This makes clots less likely to form.
