Cough, orthostatic hypotension, peripheral edema, dry mouth, angioedema and neutropenia
Labs: K+ Na+
What are BP med complications and labs?
Sublingual form of nitroglycerin
What is Nitrostat?
Decreases production of AH (aqueous humor) therefore decreasing IOP (Intraocular Pressure)
What is the Beta-Adrenergic Blocker, Timolol?

Labs: CBC INR aPTT and PT
