Santinal MR Capsule 200 mg contains Dipyridamole, a vasodilator and antiplatelet agent used to prevent blood clots and improve blood flow in patients at risk of cardiovascular events. Dipyridamole works by inhibiting the uptake of adenosine into platelets, endothelial cells, and erythrocytes, which increases local concentrations of adenosine and cyclic AMP. This mechanism reduces platelet aggregation and promotes vasodilation, improving circulation and helping prevent conditions such as stroke or heart attack.

The “MR” (Modified Release) formulation ensures gradual absorption of the medication, providing sustained therapeutic effects throughout the day while minimizing peak-related side effects. Santinal MR Capsule 200 mg is commonly prescribed for patients with a history of ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attacks (TIA), or those requiring long-term antiplatelet therapy in combination with other cardiovascular medications.
