Consumer:Nefazodone and propranolol may have additive effects in lowering your blood pressure. You may experience headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, and/or changes in pulse or heart rate. These side effects are most likely to be seen at the beginning of treatment, following a dose increase, or when treatment is restarted after an interruption. Let your doctor know if you develop these symptoms and they do not go away after a few days or they become troublesome. Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you, and use caution when getting up from a sitting or lying position. 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.
Professional:MONITOR: Nefazodone may potentiate the hypotensive effect of many drugs including vasodilators and antihypertensive agents. Orthostatic hypotension may occur. In clinical studies, nefazodone was associated with potentially significant blood pressure decreases (SBP 90 mmHg or less and at least 20 mmHg decrease from baseline) in 5.1% of patients, postural hypotension in 2.8%, and syncope in 0.2% (versus 0.3% for placebo).
MANAGEMENT: Caution and close monitoring for altered efficacy and safety are recommended if patients receive nefazodone with agents that can produce significant hypotension such as antihypertensive agents or vasodilators. Patients should be made aware of the possible side effects (e.g., dizziness, lightheadedness, orthostasis) and be cautioned about driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous tasks. They should also be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position and to contact their physician if they experience symptoms of hypotension such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting.
