Acetaminophen (tylenol). In the early stages of therapy, nitoglycerin commonly causes headache and dizziness. Acetaminophen usually helps decrease nitroglycerin-induced headaches. Although, the client may be anxious, lorazepam usually isn't given after nitroglycerin. There is no indication that the client would need insulin or prednisone.
