Can I take Amlodipine and Betahistine dihydrochloride together?

Perché succede

Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels to lower blood pressure. Betahistine is a histamine analogue used for balance disorders; while it primarily works on the inner ear, it can have minor vasodilating (vessel-widening) effects elsewhere in the body. This could theoretically lead to an additive effect on lowering blood pressure.

It is generally safe to take these two medicines together. When starting betahistine or changing your dose, monitor how you feel. If you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint, sit or lie down until the feeling passes. Move slowly when changing positions (like getting out of bed). If these symptoms persist, mention it to your doctor or pharmacist.
