Why this happens
Soluble fibre can bind to medications in the digestive tract or slow down the rate at which the stomach empties. This can interfere with how well the amlodipine is absorbed into your bloodstream.
What you should do
You do not need to stop taking fibre, but you should try to space them out. Take your amlodipine at least 2 hours before or 4 to 6 hours after taking a fibre supplement (such as psyllium husk, Fybogel, or methylcellulose). Monitor your blood pressure regularly to ensure it remains stable.
