==Warnings and Precautions==
 
===5.1 Need for Aseptic Technique===
 
Use aseptic technique and discard any unused product within 12 hours of stopper puncture [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].
 
===5.2 Hypotension and Reflex Tachycardia===
 
Cleviprex may produce systemic [[hypotension]] and reflex [[tachycardia]]. If either occurs, decrease the dose of Cleviprex. There is limited experience with short-duration therapy with beta-blockers as a treatment for Cleviprex-induced [[tachycardia]]. Beta-blocker use for this purpose is not recommended.
 
===5.3 Lipid Intake===
 
Cleviprex contains approximately 0.2 g of lipid per mL (2.0 kcal). Lipid intake restrictions may be necessary for patients with significant disorders of lipid metabolism. For these patients, a reduction in the quantity of concurrently administered lipids may be necessary to compensate for the amount of lipid infused as part of the Cleviprex formulation.
 
===5.4 Negative Inotropy===
 
Dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers can produce negative inotropic effects and exacerbate heart failure. Monitor [[heart failure]] patients carefully.
 
===5.5 Beta-Blocker Withdrawal===
 
Cleviprex is not a [[beta-blocker]], does not reduce heart rate, and gives no protection against the effects of abrupt [[beta-blocker]] withdrawal. [[Beta-blockers]] should be withdrawn only after a gradual reduction in dose.
 
===5.6 Rebound Hypertension===
 
Patients who receive prolonged Cleviprex infusions and are not transitioned to other antihypertensive therapies should be monitored for the possibility of rebound [[hypertension]] for at least 8 hours after the infusion is stopped.
 
===5.7 Pheochromocytoma===
 
There is no information to guide use of Cleviprex in treating [[hypertension]] associated with pheochromocytoma.<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = CLEVIPREX (CLEVIDIPINE) EMULSION [THE MEDICINES COMPANY] | url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=095081a0-1398-11dc-82e1-0002a5d5c51b | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate = 27 February 2014 }}</ref>
