Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Co-administration with anticoagulants, antiplatelets, or NSAIDs can increase risk of bleeding ( 7.1 ) • Decreased renal function can occur with co-administration with NSAIDs ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Drug Interaction Study Information Obtained From Literature Adenosinergic agents (e.g. adenosine, regadenoson) Dipyridamole has been reported to increase the plasma levels and cardiovascular effects of adenosine. Adjustment of adenosine dosage may be necessary. Dipyridamole also increases the cardiovascular effects of regadenoson, an adenosine A 2A -receptor agonist. The potential risk of cardiovascular side effects with intravenous adenosinergic agents may be increased during the testing period when dipyridamole is not held 48 hours prior to stress testing.
Warnings
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Aspirin and extended-release dipyridamole capsules increases the risk of bleeding ( 5.1 ) • Avoid use in patients with severe hepatic or renal insufficiency ( 5.2 , 5.3 ) • Interrupt aspirin and extended-release dipyridamole capsules 48 hours before using intravenous dipyridamole or other adenosinergic agents for stress testing ( 5.6 , 7.1 ) 5.1 Risk of Bleeding Aspirin and extended-release dipyridamole capsules increases the risk of bleeding. Risk factors for bleeding include the use of other drugs that increase the risk of bleeding (e.g., anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, heparin, anagrelide, fibrinolytic therapy, and chronic use of NSAIDs) [see Drug Interactions ( 7.1 )]. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS • Hypersensitivity to any product ingredients ( 4.1 ) • Patients with known allergy to NSAIDs ( 4.2 ) • Patients with the syndrome of asthma, rhinitis, and nasal polyps ( 4.2 ) 4.1 Hypersensitivity Aspirin and extended-release dipyridamole capsules are contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the product components.
