Can I take Alodipine and Bendroflaumazide together?

Perché succede

Both medicines work to lower blood pressure but in different ways: amlodipine relaxes your blood vessels, while bendroflumethiazide helps your body remove excess salt and water. Combining them has an 'additive' effect, meaning their blood-pressure-lowering powers are added together.

It is very common for doctors to prescribe these together. When you first start the combination, take extra care when standing up from a sitting or lying position. If you feel very dizzy, have a persistent headache, or feel like you might faint, contact your GP. They may want to monitor your blood pressure or check your kidney function and salt levels with a blood test.
