As for adults. PYRIDANTIN is taken by mouth, and should usually be taken before meals.
If these occur it is usually during the early part of treatment and they are often dose-related. The vasodilating properties of PYRIDANTIN may occasionally produce a vascular headache which normally disappears with dosage reduction.
Dizziness, faintness, dyspepsia, mild diarrhoea, myalgia, hypotension, hot flushes and tachycardia have also been reported occasionally. In rare cases worsening symptoms of coronary heart disease; hypersensitivity reactions such as rash, urticaria, severe bronchospasm and angioedema; increased bleeding during or after surgery and thrombocytopenia have been reported.
PYRIDANTIN should be used with caution in patients with coagulation disorders. PYRIDANTIN is a potent vasodilator and should be used with caution in patients with rapidly worsening angina, sub-valvular aortic stenosis or haemodynamic instability associated with a recently sustained myocardial infarction.
Patients with a known hypersensitivity to Dipyridamole. Patients with known cardiac conduction difficulties or dysrhythmias.
