Professional:Nitroglycerin has been used safely and successfully to counteract some of the potentially deleterious pressor effects of vasopressin. The combination may be particularly useful if vasopressin is required in a patient with known or suspected coronary artery disease. Animal data have shown that neither drug significantly affects the plasma clearance of the other. While nitroglycerin and vasopressin have opposing hemodynamic effects, the interaction has been used to clinical advantage.
