Sintesi

Dihydroergotamine causes vasoconstriction that opposes nitroglycerin's vasodilation and may worsen myocardial ischemia. Nitrates may also raise ergot bioavailability, increasing vasospasm risk. Patients with angina are particularly at risk.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Dihydroergotamine intranasal and Nitroglycerin can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene

Opposing vasoactive effects, with possible increased dihydroergotamine exposure caused by nitrates.

Cosa fare
