Can I take Amlodipine and Jardiance together?

Why this happens

Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker designed specifically to lower blood pressure. Jardiance is a SGLT2 inhibitor for diabetes that also has a mild diuretic effect (it helps the body remove salt and water through urine), which can further lower blood pressure. This is an additive effect.

It is generally safe to take these together, but you should monitor your blood pressure regularly at home. Be careful when getting out of bed or standing up from a chair. If you feel very dizzy, see stars, or feel like you might faint, contact your doctor, as they may need to adjust your doses.
