Precaution

Patients with cardiovascular disease should be closely supervised when on nortriptyline because of the tendency of drugs in this class to produce sinus tachycardia and to prolong conduction time.

Modrin Tablets Warnings

Warning 1

Patients with a history of seizures should be followed closely when nortriptyline is administered, since nortriptyline is known to lower the seizure threshold.

Warning 2

Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS): This rare but potentially fatal symptom complex has been reported in association with fluphenazine. Clinical manifestations of NMS are fever, hyperpyrexia, muscle rigidity, altered mental status, and evidence of autonomic instability (irregular pulse or blood pressure, tachycardia, diaphoresis, and cardiac dysrhythmias). If NMS is suspected,it should be discontinued permanently.

Warning 3

The use of fluphenazine may impair the mental and physical abilities required for driving or operating heavy machinery, particularly during the first days of therapy. Potentiation of the effects of alcohol may occur with the use of this medication.
