Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

dipyridamole ginger

Applies to: dipyridamole and calcium phosphate, tribasic / ginger

Talk to your doctor before using ginger together with dipyridamole. Ginger products have been reported to cause bleeding in rare cases, and taking it with other medications that can also cause bleeding such as dipyridamole may increase that risk. You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience any unusual bleeding or bruising, or have other signs and symptoms of bleeding such as dizziness; lightheadedness; red or black, tarry stools; coughing up or vomiting fresh or dried blood that looks like coffee grounds; severe headache; and weakness. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

dipyridamole food

Applies to: dipyridamole

Caffeine may interfere with the effects of dipyridamole in dilating the arteries. You should avoid caffeine-containing products for at least 24 hours before an imaging procedure involving dipyridamole given by injection. However, no special precaution is necessary if you are taking dipyridamole orally for maintenance.

Moderate

calcium phosphate, tribasic food

Applies to: calcium phosphate, tribasic / ginger

Calcium absorption may be increased by taking it with food. However, foods high in oxalic acid (spinach or rhubarb), or phytic acid (bran and whole grains) may decrease calcium absorption. Calcium may be taken with food to increase absorption. Consider spacing calcium administration for at least 2 hours before or after consuming foods high in oxalic acid or phytic acid. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Moderate

dipyridamole food

Applies to: dipyridamole

Ask your doctor before using dipyridamole together with caffeine. Using these medications together can decrease the effects of dipyridamole. It is recommended that caffeine including caffeine be avoided for 12 to 24 hours before dipyridamole administration. You may need a dose adjustment or special test if you use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
