Posso prendere Amlodipina e Moringer insieme?

Perché succede

Both amlodipine and moringa have blood-pressure-lowering effects. When used together, their actions can add up (an additive effect), potentially causing an excessive drop in blood pressure. Additionally, some studies suggest moringa might slightly interfere with the liver enzymes that break down amlodipine, which could lead to higher levels of the medicine in your body.

If you decide to take moringa while on amlodipine, you should monitor your blood pressure more frequently at home. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before starting moringa, as they may need to adjust your amlodipine dose. Seek medical advice if you feel dizzy, weak, or unusually tired.

Malattia epatica grave

Amlodipine is broken down by the liver; if your liver is not working well, the medicine can build up to dangerous levels. Your doctor must monitor your dose very closely.

Heart failure or recent heart attack

Amlodipine can occasionally cause a rapid drop in blood pressure or worsen certain heart conditions. It should be used with extreme caution if you have severe narrowing of the aortic heart valve.

Pompelmo e succo di pompelmo

Grapefruit can increase the amount of amlodipine in your blood, which may increase the risk of side effects like headaches, swelling, or dizziness. While small amounts are usually fine, it is best to avoid large quantities.

Alcol

Amlodipine lowers your blood pressure. Drinking alcohol can further lower it, making you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or sleepy. It is best to keep alcohol intake to a minimum when starting this medicine.
