what made me have a stroke?

Good Morning. Even if DHE is administered correctly it can cause decreased blood pressure to the extremities and brain, causing a stroke. Nevertheless, there are certain protocols that can be followed to decrease this risk (including the simultaneous administration of Benadryl). Beyond this, if patients are simultaneously taking other medication, DHE should not be administered because the risk of stroke is more significant. Quick research suggests that if you are on certain antibiotics, HIV protease inhibitors and some antidepressants, DHE should be avoided.
