What is Persantine

DipyridamoleThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryDipyridamole is a drug that works by inhibiting an enzyme called phosphodiesterase. This prevents the absorption and breakdown of a molecule called adenosine, which helps to reduce blood clotting and improve the production of a hormone-like substance called prostacyclin.

Effectiveness

How Persantine Affects PatientsDipyridamole is a drug used to open up blood vessels and stop blood clots from forming. It is often taken in combination with other medicines, such as warfarin, to help prevent stroke in people with heart or vascular problems. Dipyridamole is also used to take pictures of the heart's blood flow, to prevent blood clots from forming, and in combination with aspirin to help avoid stroke.
How Persantine works in the bodyDipyridamole works to stop blood clotting by preventing the breakdown of molecules that inhibit platelet function. It also increases the production of a molecule called prostacyclin, which stops platelets from clumping together and forming a clot.

Persantine Reviews: What are patients saying about Persantine?

Persantine for Transient Ischemic Attack
It's been 16 months since I had a TIA, so this treatment is definitely working. The only downside is that I experience quite a bit of muscle pain/cramping in my legs; however, that is a small price to pay for avoiding another attack.

This was prescribed following a stroke and I had a blood clot located in a crucial spot in the brain. I cannot tolerate Coumadin and this drug works wonders for me!

I'm not sure if this is the cause, but I've developed some pretty severe arthritis and weakness in my calf muscles since taking this medication. It's gotten to the point where I can't stand or walk.

Answered by AI

Is Persantine still available?

"Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals has announced the permanent discontinuation of Persantine (dipyridamole) tablets. The decision to discontinue the product is business-related and not due to product safety or efficacy."

Answered by AI

What is a Persantine injection?

"Dipyridamole is used to prevent blood clots after heart valve replacement surgery. It is also given as part of a test that shows how well your heart is pumping blood."

Answered by AI

What is the drug Persantine used for?

"It helps prevent blood clots by keeping platelets from sticking together.

Dipyridamole is a medication used to prevent the formation of blood clots. It is often used in combination with other medications, such as warfarin, to keep clots from forming after heart valve replacements. Clots are a serious complication that can cause strokes, heart attacks, or blocked blood vessels in the lungs (pulmonary embolisms). Dipyridamole works by keeping platelets from sticking together."

Brain Stimulation for Stroke and Aphasia

18+
All Sexes
Ann Arbor, MI
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if electrical brain stimulation applied to the front parts of the brain can help people who have had a stroke improve their fatigue, language, and attention. The main question it aims to answer is: * Does transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) administered to the pre-frontal areas of the brain improve post-stroke fatigue and aphasia? * What kinds of participant characteristics are associated with better improvement of post-stroke fatigue and aphasia? Researchers will compare active electrical stimulation to sham stimulation to see if the active stimulation does a better job at reducing fatigue and language deficits after stroke. Participants will be asked to complete fatigue, language, and cognitive testing before and after receiving 10 sessions of tDCS plus speech and language therapy.

Robotic Balance Training + Brain Stimulation for Stroke

18 - 75
All Sexes
West Orange, NJ
Our proposed study, "NEUROBALANCE Stroke,"; aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a combined intervention involving robotic balance training and noninvasive brain stimulation in improving balance function and postural control in individuals with chronic stroke. The study will recruit 45 participants who have had a stroke at least 6 months before enrolment and experience persistent balance and gait deficits. Participants will be randomized into three groups: (1) robotic balance training with active brain stimulation, (2) robotic balance training with sham brain stimulation, and (3) standard-of-care rehabilitation. The study will involve 15 training sessions over 5 weeks, with assessments conducted at baseline, post-training, and two months post-training to evaluate balance recovery and retention. The primary focus is understanding how this intervention affects brain and muscle activity during balance tasks and how these changes translate into functional improvements in clinical outcome measures of balance function. Additionally, participant feedback on brain stimulation and exercise engagement will be collected to inform future studies. The findings may guide the development of personalized training protocols and contribute to broader rehabilitation strategies.

All Sexes
Jacksonville, FL
This trial tests a promising new intervention to promote post-stroke neural reorganization and functional recovery. The Q Therapeutic (BQ 3.0) is a wearable medical system that produces and delivers non-invasive, extremely-low-intensity and low-frequency, frequency-tuned electromagnetic fields in order to stimulate neuronal networks with the aim of reducing disability and promoting neurorecovery. This trial is a prospective, single-arm, open-label, single center clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of the Q Therapeutic (BQ 3.0) System in the rehabilitation of people with chronic stroke.

Low SAR MRI Scans for Coronary Heart Disease

18 - 100
All Sexes
Bethesda, MD
Background: Researchers are testing version of a system known as a magnetic resonance imagining (MRI) scanner that uses strong magnetic fields, radio waves and the like to create images of the organs in the body. It uses lower energy levels than other MRI scanners. This may help scan people with metal devices in their body, or in invasive heart procedures using metal tools. Objective: To test a new MRI scanner and software changes to create better pictures. Eligibility: People with disease and healthy volunteers, ages 18 and older. Design: Participants will be screened with blood tests. Participants may have both the new MRI and a conventional MRI or only the new one. If 2 are done, they must be within 60 days. For both MRI versions, participants lie on a table that slides into a large tube. During scans, they will hold their breath for up to 20 seconds at a time. Heart activity will be measured by wires connected to pads on the skin. A flexible belt may be used to monitor their breathing. They will be in the scanner up to 2 hours. Participants can agree to have a dye called gadolinium injected into their arm during the scan. This brightens the pictures. Participants can agree to take a drug called a vasodilator. This helps detect areas of the heart with abnormal blood supply. Scans of the heart are taken before, during, and after they get the medicine. The drug may cause temporary chest pain or shortness of breath. They may get other drugs to relieve these symptoms. Sponsoring Institution: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute
