Only the smallest dose required for effective control of the acute anginal attack should be used. Excessive use may lead to the development of tolerance. This drug should be used with caution in patients who may be volume-depleted or are already hypotensive.
Orthostatic hypotension may occur with the combined use of calcium channel blockers, antihypertensive agents, phenothiazine, and tricyclic antidepressants. Use of alcohol with nitroglycerin may produce severe hypotension and collapse. Oral nitroglycerin may enhance the bioavailability of dihydroergotamine.
