Mechanism of action
Pharmacodynamic additive BP-lowering: nitrate vasodilation plus diuretic-induced volume depletion reduces preload/afterload.
Clinical management
Assess and correct volume depletion before initiating or uptitrating nitrates; monitor seated/standing BP; reduce diuretic dose if symptomatic hypotension occurs.
