Precautions
Headaches are common when starting and usually settle – do not stop the medicine on your own. This medicine prevents angina rather than relieving a sudden attack. Stand up slowly, and never combine nitrates with medicines for erectile dysfunction, as together they can dangerously drop blood pressure.
Tell your doctor about any other medicines or supplements you take, any allergies, and if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding.
