Important precautions
Back to contentsEnfermedad hepática
Amlodipine is broken down by the liver; if your liver is not working fully, the medicine can build up to toxic levels. Your doctor must monitor you closely and may need to use a much lower starting dose.
Severe diarrhoea
Lansoprazole can increase the risk of serious bacterial bowel infections (such as Campylobacter or C. difficile). If you develop severe or persistent watery diarrhoea, seek medical advice immediately and do not use anti-diarrhoeal medicines.
Food and drink warnings
Back to contentsGrapefruit juice
Grapefruit juice can increase the amount of amlodipine in your blood, which may cause your blood pressure to drop too low and increase the risk of side effects like headaches or swelling. Avoid drinking large amounts of grapefruit juice.
Alcohol
While alcohol does not directly interact with amlodipine, both can lower your blood pressure. Drinking alcohol while taking this medicine may make you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or sleepy. It is best to keep alcohol intake to a minimum.
