Never heard of this drug.  What was it prescribed for, Sully?  Don't take anymore till you find out more!
Sorry for your problems.  Youv'e been through so much!

it's a blood thinner, apparently there's a study that says it keeps dialysis accesses open better then plavix.

For clarity, dipyridamole.

Chest pain is one reported side effect. I hope you can get switched to something better soon!
