Blood Pressure: Because isradipine decreases peripheral resistance, like other [[calcium blockers]] isradipine may occasionally produce symptomatic [[hypotension]]. However, symptoms like [[syncope]] and severe [[dizziness]] have rarely been reported in hypertensive patients administered isradipine, particularly at the initial recommended doses (seeDOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
 
Use in Patients with Congestive Heart Failure: Although acute hemodynamic studies in patients with [[congestive heart failure]] have shown that isradipine reduced afterload without impairing myocardial contractility, it has a negative inotropic effect at high doses in vitro and possibly in some patients. Caution should be exercised when using isradipine in congestive heart failure patients, particularly in combination with a beta-blocker.<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = ISRADIPINE CAPSULE [COBALT LABORATORIES] | url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=bf3425e0-428d-4bdb-ac9a-3b9d483df83a | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate = 28 February 2014 }}</ref>
