Can I take Amlopidine and Glucosamine together?

Por qué sucede esto

Glucosamine is an amino sugar that may interfere with insulin sensitivity or blood sugar levels, which can indirectly influence blood pressure control. Some studies also suggest glucosamine might affect certain enzymes in the liver (CYP450) that break down amlodipine, though this effect is generally considered weak.

It is usually fine to take these together, but you should monitor your blood pressure more closely when starting or changing your dose of glucosamine. If you notice your blood pressure readings are consistently higher than usual, speak to your GP or pharmacist.
