¿Puedo tomar Amlodipina y Paracetamol juntos?

You can take these medicines together as prescribed. Amlodipine y paracetamol are processed by different pathways in the body and do not interfere with how the other works.

Amlodipine works by relaxing blood vessels to lower blood pressure, while paracetamol works on the central nervous system to reduce pain and fever.

Always follow the dosage instructions on the packaging or as advised by your doctor or pharmacist.

Precauciones importantes

Enfermedad hepática o consumo excesivo de alcohol

Paracetamol is processed by the liver. If you have liver problems or drink large amounts of alcohol, you are at a much higher risk of fatal liver damage even at standard doses. Never exceed the maximum dose of 8 tablets (4g) in 24 hours.

Severe heart disease (aortic stenosis)

Amlodipine can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure if you have severe narrowing of the aortic heart valve (estenosis aórtica), which may lead to fainting or heart failure.

Advertencias sobre alimentos y bebidas

Jugo de toronja

Grapefruit juice can increase the amount of amlodipine in your blood. This may cause your blood pressure to drop too low and increase the risk of side effects like headaches or swollen ankles.

While a small glass is unlikely to cause problems for most people, it is best to avoid large amounts of grapefruit juice while taking this medicine.

Alcohol

You can usually drink alcohol in moderation while taking these medicines. However, for amlodipine, alcohol can increase the blood-pressure lowering effect, which might make you feel dizzy or lightheaded.

For paracetamol, chronic heavy drinking increases the risk of liver damage.
