Can I take Amlodipine, Valsartan and Nebivolol together?

Por qué sucede esto

All three medicines work to lower blood pressure but in different ways. Amlodipine relaxes blood vessels, valsartan blocks a hormone that narrows vessels, and nebivolol slows the heart rate. When combined, their effects add together (additive effect).

Use with caution. Your doctor has likely prescribed this combination intentionally, but you should monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly. If you feel very dizzy, tired, or notice a very slow pulse, contact your doctor. To avoid dizziness, stand up slowly from a sitting or lying position.

Embarazo

You must not take valsartan if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. It can cause serious harm or death to an unborn baby, particularly if used in the second and third trimesters. Use effective contraception while taking it.

Asma o EPOC

Do not take nebivolol if you have asthma, a history of wheezing, or severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as it can cause life-threatening narrowing of the airways.

High potassium levels (Hyperkalaemia)

Valsartan can significantly increase potassium levels in your blood. Avoid using salt substitutes containing potassium and be cautious with potassium supplements, as high levels can cause dangerous heart rhythm problems.

Jugo de toronja

El jugo de toronja puede aumentar la cantidad de amlodipina en tu sangre, lo que puede hacer que tu presión arterial baje demasiado y aumentar el riesgo de efectos secundarios como dolores de cabeza o tobillos hinchados. Evita beber grandes cantidades de jugo de toronja.

Alcohol

Drinking alcohol can increase the blood-pressure-lowering effect of these medicines, which may make you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint, especially when standing up. It is best to keep your alcohol intake within recommended limits and see how the medicine affects you first.
