Can I take Amlodipine and Lansoprazole together?

Por qué sucede esto

Amlodipine (a blood pressure medicine) and lansoprazole (a stomach acid reducer) are processed by different pathways in the body and do not interfere with how the other works.

You can continue to take both medicines as prescribed by your doctor. You do not need to change the timing of your doses or take any special precautions regarding this specific combination.

Enfermedad 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.

Diarrea severa

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.

Jugo de toronja

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.
