DOPAMINE AGONISTS AND NASAL DECONGESTANTS
Post-partum women taking bromocriptine have developed symptoms such as severe headache, marked hypertension, psychosis, or seizures with cerebral vasospasm after also taking isometheptene, phenylpropanolamine, or pseudoephedrine.
Direct information seems to be limited to these cases, but the severity of the reactions suggests that it might be prudent for postpartum patients to avoid these and related drugs while taking bromocriptine. Advise patients to also avoid non- prescription products containing these drugs (often cough and cold remedies).
