==Warnings And Precautions==

===General===

'''Coronary Artery Disease''': Dipyridamole has a vasodilatory effect and should be used with caution in patients with severe coronary artery disease (e.g., [[unstable angina]] or recently sustained [[myocardial infarction]]). Chest pain may be aggravated in patients with underlying coronary artery disease who are receiving dipyridamole.

'''Hepatic Insufficiency''': Elevations of hepatic enzymes and hepatic failure have been reported in association with dipyridamole administration.

'''Hypotension''': Dipyridamole should be used with caution in patients with [[hypotension]] since it can produce peripheral vasodilation.

===Laboratory Tests===
