Poisoning by, Adverse Effect of and Underdosing of Coronary Vasodilators

Coronary vasodilators are medications that help dilate or widen the blood vessels in the heart. They are commonly used to treat angina or chest pain, high blood pressure, and heart failure. Although these drugs are generally safe, they can cause adverse effects, and sometimes, poisoning or underdosing.

  1. Poisoning by Coronary Vasodilators
  2. Coronary vasodilators can be toxic when taken in large doses or when combined with other drugs. Symptoms of poisoning can range from mild to severe, and may include:

    • Low blood pressure
    • Rapid heartbeat
    • Headache
    • Dizziness
    • Nausea and vomiting
    • Seizures

    In severe cases, poisoning can lead to coma or even death. If you suspect you or someone else has been poisoned by coronary vasodilators, seek medical attention immediately.

  3. Adverse Effects of Coronary Vasodilators
  4. Coronary vasodilators can also cause adverse effects, even when taken in the correct dose. Some of the most common adverse effects include:

    • Headache
    • Dizziness
    • Nausea and vomiting
    • Flushing
    • Low blood pressure
    • Fast heartbeat
    • Shortness of breath

    Although these adverse effects are usually mild and go away on their own, some people may experience more severe symptoms. If you experience any unusual symptoms while taking coronary vasodilators, speak to your doctor right away.

  5. Underdosing of Coronary Vasodilators
  6. Underdosing of coronary vasodilators can occur when the prescribed dose is too low or when the medication is not taken as directed. When underdosing occurs, the medication may not work as well as it should, and symptoms may persist or worsen. If you are taking coronary vasodilators and do not notice any improvement in your symptoms, speak to your doctor about adjusting your dose or trying a different medication.

Overall, coronary vasodilators are effective medications that can help manage heart conditions. However, it is important to take them as directed and to speak to your doctor if you experience any unusual symptoms or are concerned about the medication's effects.
