Adverse Reactions

Headache is the most common reaction to treatment with glyceryl trinitrate. These are usually mild and usually occur after the first few applications only. In a small number of patients headaches may be severe or persist. If headaches persist the dose should be reduced (see OVERDOSAGE). If the headaches continue to occur or are severe, treatment should be withdrawn. Rectogesic may also cause fainting or dizziness, particularly in the elderly.
Incontinence is also a possible adverse reaction, although this has not been reported to date, and should be completely reversible on withdrawal of the drug.
