Can I take Amlodipine and Fluoxetine together?

Por qué sucede esto

Fluoxetine can slow down the liver enzymes (specifically one called CYP3A4) that your body uses to break down amlodipine. This means amlodipine stays in your system longer. Additionally, both drugs can lower blood pressure, leading to a combined effect.

You can usually take these together, but you should monitor your blood pressure regularly at home. If you feel dizzy, lightheaded (especially when standing up), or notice increased swelling in your legs, speak to your doctor. They may need to adjust your amlodipine dose.
