A case is presented of a postpartum woman in whom hypertension and pulmonary edema developed after administration of bromocriptine mesylate. Caution is advised when there is additional recent use of cocaine because of a suggested potentiating action of cocaine on the development of adverse cardiovascular and cerebral sequelae in postpartum patients who take bromocriptine.
