Dipyridamole Overview

Dipyridamole is a drug that inhibits thrombus formation when given chronically and causes vasodilation when given at high doses over short time. , It inhibits the cellular reuptake of adenosine into platelets, red blood cells and endothelial cells leading to increased extracellular concentrations of adenosine. , It also inhibits the enzyme adenosine deaminase which normally breaks down adenosine into inosine. This inhibition leads to further increased levels of extracellular adenosine....
