Consumer:Using niCARdipine together with nitroglycerin can lower your blood pressure. This can cause dizziness or feeling like you might pass out, especially when getting up from a sitting or lying position. This may be more likely to occur when you first start taking either of these medications. Talk with your doctor before using niCARdipine and nitroglycerin together. You may need a dose adjustment or need your blood pressure checked more often if you take 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
Professional:MONITOR: Marked, symptomatic orthostatic hypotension has been reported when calcium channel blockers were used in combination with oral controlled-release nitroglycerin.
MANAGEMENT: Dosage adjustments of either class of agents may be necessary. All patients treated with nitroglycerin--with or without calcium channel blockers--should be made aware of possible adverse effects such as dizziness, lightheadedness, and orthostasis, and advised to arise slowly from a sitting or recumbent position.
