Possible side effects are given below for body systems and frequency of occurrence (classification of the World Health Organization): very often (more than 1/10), often (more than 1/100 and less than 1/10), infrequently (more than 1/1000 and less than 1 / 100), rarely (more than 1/10000 and less than 1/1000), very rarely (less than 1/10000), the frequency is unknown (the frequency can not be estimated from available data).
From the central nervous system
Often: headaches ("nitrate" headaches) at the beginning of the treatment, which, as a rule, disappear with further use of the drug.
Often: drowsiness, slight dizziness.
Frequency unknown: blurred vision, inhibition (especially at the beginning of treatment), cerebral ischemia.

Infrequently: "paradoxical" enhancement of angina attacks, collapse (sometimes accompanied by bradyarrhythmia and syncope).
Frequency unknown: marked decrease in blood pressure.

General violations and violations at the site of introduction
Often: asthenia, burning in the tongue.

Prolonged use of the drug may cause transient hypoxemia due to the relative redistribution of blood flow inhypoventilation alveolar sites (in patients with coronary heart disease - can lead to myocardial hypoxia).
