Photosensitivity Amlodipine Hypersensitivity Nimodipine is used to prevent neurologic damage due to certain types of cerebral vasospasm. Chest Pain Worsen (contact HCP) Thrombocytopenia Monitor ECG periodically during prolonged therapy. Contraindicated in bradycardia, 2nd- or 3rd-degree heart block, or decompensated HF (except amlodipine) Treatment and prophylaxis of angina pectoris or coronary artery spasm Hyperglycemia Diltiazem disturbed equilibrium Encourage patient to comply with additional interventions for hypertension Nimodipine Caution patient to make position changes slowly to minimize orthostatic hypotension. peripheral edema Use cautiously in patients with liver disease or uncontrolled arrhythmias. Assess for rash periodically during therapy. May cause Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Block calcium entry into cells of vascular smooth muscle and myocardium. Severe, persistent headache occurs (contact HCP) STEVENS- JOHNSON SYNDROME (SJS) Nifedipine Assess for signs of HF anorexia ARRHYTHMIAS Advise to check BP and pulse weekly and report significant changes to health care professional. Dilate coronary arteries in both normal and ischemic myocardium and inhibit coronary artery spasm. Medication controls, but does not cure, hypertension. gingival hyperplasia Monitor serum potassium periodically. Hypokalemia increases risk of arrhythmias; should be corrected Used in the treatment of hypertension ERYTHEMA MULTIFORME Monitor intake and output ratios and daily weight Chest pain is accompanied by diaphoresis or shortness of breath (contact HCP) Instruct patient on the importance of maintaining good dental hygiene Monitor BP and pulse before therapy, during dose titration, and periodically during therapy.
