Used in the treatment of hypertension ERYTHEMA MULTIFORME Assess for signs of HF Block calcium entry into cells of vascular smooth muscle and myocardium. Use cautiously in patients with liver disease or uncontrolled arrhythmias. Encourage patient to comply with additional interventions for hypertension Thrombocytopenia Dilate coronary arteries in both normal and ischemic myocardium and inhibit coronary artery spasm. Advise to check BP and pulse weekly and report significant changes to health care professional. STEVENS- JOHNSON SYNDROME (SJS) Severe, persistent headache occurs (contact HCP) Monitor BP and pulse before therapy, during dose titration, and periodically during therapy. Diltiazem Caution patient to make position changes slowly to minimize orthostatic hypotension. Chest Pain Worsen (contact HCP) Hyperglycemia Monitor serum potassium periodically. Hypokalemia increases risk of arrhythmias; should be corrected Treatment and prophylaxis of angina pectoris or coronary artery spasm Nifedipine Amlodipine Assess for rash periodically during therapy. May cause Stevens-Johnson syndrome.
