Persantine (active ingredient: dipyridamole) is a prescription medication used to help reduce the risk of blood clots in certain people.

It is commonly used together with an anticoagulant, such as warfarin, in people who have had a heart valve replacement.

Prevention of Blood Clots

After heart valve replacement surgery, there is a risk that blood clots may form on or around the artificial valve.

These clots can travel through the bloodstream and may cause serious complications, including:

  • Stroke
  • Blocked blood vessels
  • Other thromboembolic events

Persantine helps lower this risk when used as part of an anticoagulation treatment plan.

How Persantine Works

Persantine belongs to a group of medications called antiplatelet agents.

Dipyridamole works by making platelets in the blood less likely to stick together.

Platelets are small blood cells that help form clots. By reducing platelet clumping, Persantine can help lower the chance of an unwanted blood clot forming.

Why Persantine Is Used With an Anticoagulant

Persantine may be prescribed together with an anticoagulant because the two medications work in different ways to reduce clot formation.

This combination may provide additional protection against thromboembolic complications in people with certain types of replacement heart valves.

Important Treatment Note

Persantine helps reduce the risk of blood clots, but it does not completely eliminate the risk.

Take it exactly as prescribed and do not stop taking Persantine or your anticoagulant without speaking with your healthcare provider. Stopping these medications suddenly may increase your risk of developing a serious blood clot.

Persantine comes as a tablet taken by mouth.

It is usually taken several times a day, often 4 times daily, depending on your condition and treatment plan.

Take Persantine exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

When Should Persantine Be Taken?

Persantine is often taken before meals.

Try to take each dose at about the same times every day to help you remember.

If the medication causes stomach upset, your healthcare provider may recommend taking it with food or milk.

How to Take the Tablets

Swallow each tablet with a glass of water.

Do not crush or chew the tablet unless your healthcare provider or pharmacist tells you it is safe to do so.

Usual Dosage After Heart Valve Replacement

When Persantine is used to help prevent blood clots after a heart valve replacement, it may be prescribed together with an anticoagulant such as warfarin.

A commonly used dose is 75 mg to 100 mg taken 4 times daily.

Your healthcare provider will determine the exact dose based on your medical condition, other medications, and response to treatment.

Take Persantine Regularly

Take Persantine on a regular schedule and do not change your dose without speaking with your healthcare provider.

Taking the medication consistently helps maintain its blood-clot-prevention effect.

What Should I Do If I Miss a Dose?

If you miss a dose of Persantine, take it as soon as you remember.

If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.

Do not take two doses at the same time or take extra medication to make up for a missed dose.

Do Not Stop Persantine Suddenly

Do not stop taking Persantine without first speaking with your healthcare provider, especially if you are taking it after heart valve replacement.

Stopping treatment may increase your risk of developing a blood clot.

Important Treatment Note

If you are also taking warfarin or another anticoagulant, follow all instructions for blood tests and monitoring.

Contact your healthcare provider if you develop unusual bruising, bleeding, dizziness, chest pain, or other concerning symptoms while taking Persantine.

Allergic Reactions

Do not take Persantine if you are allergic to dipyridamole or any ingredient in the medication.

Seek immediate medical attention if you develop signs of a serious allergic reaction, such as hives, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, or difficulty breathing.

Bleeding Risk

Persantine reduces the ability of platelets to stick together, which may increase the risk of bleeding or bruising.

The risk may be greater if you have a bleeding disorder or take other medications that affect blood clotting, such as anticoagulants or other antiplatelet medications.

Contact your healthcare provider if you develop unusual bruising, prolonged bleeding, blood in your urine or stool, or other signs of bleeding.

Kidney or Liver Problems

Tell your healthcare provider if you have liver problems or kidney disease before taking Persantine.

Your healthcare provider can determine whether additional monitoring or changes to your treatment are needed.

Low Blood Pressure

Persantine can widen blood vessels and may cause your blood pressure to drop.

This may lead to dizziness, weakness, or feeling faint, especially when standing up quickly.

Tell your healthcare provider if you already have low blood pressure or take medications that lower your blood pressure.

Heart Problems and Chest Pain

Persantine should be used carefully in people with certain types of heart disease, including severe coronary artery disease.

Because dipyridamole widens blood vessels, it may occasionally worsen chest pain in some people.

Seek medical attention if you develop new or worsening chest pain, shortness of breath, or other concerning heart symptoms.

Surgery and Dental Procedures

Persantine may increase the risk of bleeding during or after certain procedures.

Tell your doctor, dentist, or surgeon that you take Persantine before having surgery, dental work, or another medical procedure.

Do not stop taking Persantine on your own. Your healthcare provider will tell you whether you need to temporarily stop treatment.

Pregnancy

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant, talk to your healthcare provider before taking Persantine.

Your provider can determine whether the expected benefits of treatment outweigh any possible risks.

Breastfeeding

Dipyridamole may pass into breast milk.

Talk to your healthcare provider before taking Persantine while breastfeeding so they can determine whether treatment is appropriate.

Asthma and Breathing Problems

Tell your healthcare provider if you have asthma or another breathing condition.

Breathing problems are not a common effect of oral Persantine, but your healthcare provider should know about your respiratory conditions before treatment, particularly if dipyridamole is being considered for a diagnostic heart test.

Dizziness

Persantine may cause dizziness, particularly if it lowers your blood pressure.

Avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing activities that require alertness until you know how the medication affects you.

Stand up slowly from a sitting or lying position if you experience dizziness.

Important Treatment Note

Take Persantine exactly as prescribed and tell your healthcare provider about all medications you use, especially blood thinners, antiplatelet medications, and blood pressure medicines.

Do not stop Persantine or change your dose without speaking with your healthcare provider.

When Is the Best Time to Take Dipyridamole?

Persantine is usually taken before meals, often several times a day. Try to take each dose at about the same times every day. Swallow the tablet with a full glass of water.

Why Is Dipyridamole Taken Before Food?

Taking Persantine 30 minutes to 1 hour before a meal may help improve absorption. If the medication causes stomach upset, your healthcare provider may recommend taking it with food or milk instead. Follow the instructions on your prescription label.

What Medications Can Interact With Persantine?

Persantine may interact with certain medications, including warfarin and other blood thinners, NSAIDs, antiplatelet medications, and some heart or blood pressure medicines. Before starting Persantine, tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and supplements you take. This helps your healthcare provider or pharmacist check for possible interactions and reduce the risk of bleeding or other side effects.
