Recommended Action
      Management Caution and close monitoring for development of hypotension is advised during coadministration of these agents. Avoid alcohol in patients receiving vasodilating antihypertensive drugs. Patients should be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position and to notify their physician if they experience dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope, orthostasis, or tachycardia.
