Recommended Action
      Management Caution and close monitoring for altered efficacy and safety are recommended if patients receive apomorphine with an antihypertensive agent or vasodilator. Patients should be made aware of the possible side effects (e.g., dizziness, lightheadedness, orthostasis) and be cautioned about driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous tasks. They should also be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position and to contact their physician if they experience symptoms of hypotension such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting.
