ery disease; which are the primary patient populations for which nitroglycerin is utilized. Because of the potential to cause coronary vasospasm, ergot alkaloids can oppose the vasodilatory actions of nitroglycerin and, in doing so, may precipitate angina. In addition, oral administration of nitroglycerin decreases the first-pass metabolism of dihydroergotamine, thereby increasing its oral bioavailability.
Ergonovine: Ergot alkaloids are contraindicated in patients with hypertension, angina, or coronary artery disease; which are the primary patient populations for which nitroglycerin is utilized. Because of the potential to cause coronary vasospasm, ergot alkaloids can oppose the vasodilatory actions of nitroglycerin and, in doing so, may precipitate angina. In addition, oral administration of nitroglycerin decreases the first-pass metabolism of dihydroergotamine, thereby increasing its oral bioavailability.

Ethanol: Ethanol interacts with antihypertensive agents by potentiating their hypotensive effect.
Fenoldopam: Concomitant use of nitrates with other antihypertensive agents can cause additive hypotensive effects. Dosage adjustments may be necessary.
Fexofenadine; Pseudoephedrine: Concomitant use of nitrates with sympathomimetics can result in antagonism of the antianginal effects of nitrates. In addition, amyl nitrite can block the alpha-adrenergic effects of epinephrine, possibly precipitating tachycardia and severe hypotension.
Gallium Ga 68 Dotatate: Nitrates can cause hypotension. This action may be additive with other agents that can cause hypotension such as diuretics.
Glimepiride; Rosiglitazone: The concomitant use of nitrates with rosiglitazone is not recommended. An increased risk of myocardial ischemia was observed in a subset of patients receiving nitrates with rosiglitazone. Most patients that were using nitrates had preexisting coronary artery disease. In patients with coronary artery disease that were not on nitrates, rosiglitazone therapy did not increase the risk of myocardial ischemia.
Guaifenesin; Hydrocodone; Pseudoephedrine: Concomitant use of nitrates with sympathomimetics can result in antagonism of the antianginal effects of nitrates. In addition, amyl nitrite can block the alpha-adrenergic effects of epinephrine, possibly precipitating tachycardia and severe hypotension.
Guaifenesin; Phenylephrine: Concomitant use of nitrate |
