Safely Buy Persantine ( Dipyridamole ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Persantine is a heart medication used to prevent the formation of blood clots after heart valve replacement surgery.

Dipyridamole is a platelet aggregation inhibitor with vasodilating properties that increases cyclic adenosine monophosphate to regulate platelet levels and function. The medication does this by inhibiting nucleoside transport. Offering vasodilator and antiplatelet effects, Persantine supports blood pressure and heart function.

This heart medication is generally well-tolerated and has been proven effective at increasing coronary blood flow. Thanks to its antiplatelet and vasodilating actions, Persantine offers cardiovascular protection and helps prevent thromboembolic complications.
