SIDE EFFECTS

Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.

Adverse reactions occurring at a frequency greater than 2% and greater than placebo included: headache, dizziness, and paresthesia.

Postmarketing Experience

The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of GONITRO and other nitroglycerin drugs. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to estimate their frequency reliably or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

Neurologic: weakness, drowsiness

Dermatologic: cutaneous vasodilation, flushing, drug rash, exfoliative dermatitits

Gastrointestinal: nausea, vomiting

Respiratory: transient hypoxemia

Cardiovascular: tachycardia
