Sorbitrate may make you dizzy. Alcohol or marijuana may make you dizzier. Avoid driving, using machinery, or doing things that need alertness until you can do it safely.

Before having surgery, let your doctor know that you are using this medicine. Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of this medicine, especially dizziness and lightheadedness, which could increase the risks of falls. 

Headache, nausea, dizziness, lightheadedness, and flushing may occur. If any of these side effects worsen or persist, tell your doctor immediately. Headache is often a sign that this medicine is working. Your doctor may recommend treating headaches with an over-the-counter pain reliever (such as aspirin or acetaminophen). Talk to your doctor immediately if the headaches continue to become severe. To reduce lightheadedness, get up slowly from a sitting or a lying position.   

A very serious allergic reaction to Sorbitrate is rare. However, seek immediate medical help if you notice any of the following symptoms of a serious allergic reaction:

   — Itching

   — Rash

   — Swelling of the face/throat/tongue

   — Severe dizziness

   — Trouble breathing

This is not the complete risk of side effects. Contact your doctor if you notice other side effects not listed in this information guide.

Take Sorbitrate orally, usually 2 to 3 times daily or as directed by your doctor. It is important to take this medicine at the same time each day. Do not change the dosing regimen unless directed by your doctor. Use this medicine regularly to get the most benefit from the medication. Do not discontinue treatment without consulting your doctor. Some conditions may become worse when the drug is suddenly stopped. The dose may need to be gradually increased.
