Can I take Amlodipine and Aspirin 300 together?

Por qué sucede esto

Aspirin belongs to a group of medicines called NSAIDs. These can cause the body to hold onto salt and water, which works against amlodipine's job of lowering blood pressure. Additionally, both medicines can affect blood flow and the lining of the stomach.

It is generally safe to take these together occasionally, but you should monitor your blood pressure regularly. If you need to take 300mg of aspirin frequently, speak to your GP or pharmacist, as they may prefer you to use a different painkiller like paracetamol which does not affect blood pressure. Seek medical advice if you notice any unusual bruising or dark, tarry stools.

Asma

Do not take aspirin if you have a history of asthma triggered by aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as it can cause a severe, life-threatening asthma attack.

Stomach ulcers or bleeding disorders

Avoid aspirin if you have an active stomach ulcer or a history of bleeding problems, as it significantly increases the risk of serious internal bleeding.

Jugo de toronja

Grapefruit juice can increase the amount of amlodipine in your body and may cause your blood pressure to drop too low. It is best to avoid drinking large amounts of grapefruit juice while taking this medicine.

Alcohol

Drinking alcohol while taking aspirin can increase the risk of irritation and bleeding in your stomach. It is best to limit alcohol intake or avoid it if you have a sensitive stomach.
