Frequently asked questions
Can you take pinacidil with other medicines?
It depends on the medicine. We check it against the FDA labels rather than guessing: our interaction checker searches each drug's own label for the other and quotes what it says, naming the section it came from. Run pinacidil against whatever else you take — and remember that a label not naming a drug is not the same as that combination being safe.
What forms does pinacidil come in?
Across the brands we track, pinacidil is currently marketed as capsule, extended release, per the FDA's National Drug Code Directory. Each form is dosed differently — follow the label for the exact product you were prescribed.
Is there a generic pinacidil?
We do not currently list a generic-labelled pinacidil product. That does not always mean none exists — it means none appears under a generic name in the FDA data we track. Ask your pharmacist.
