Question 1

Hi, i am taking amlodipine 10mg, atenolol 25mg, ramipril 10mg. can i take another drug instead of ramipril.its difficult to aquire ramipril in my area?

Accepted Answer

Ramipril is an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor. There are many on the market. Ask your doctor to prescribe one available in your area. Lisinopril is one that is usually available here in the us.

Question 2

Is it ok to take nifedipine, amlodipine and atenolol?

Accepted Answer

Amlodipine and Nifedipine are similar drugs, not sure why you'd be taking both rather than a larger dose of either. They are often given with atenolol.

Question 3

Amlodipine & coversyl plus hd has not reduced bp, yet my dr. keeps me on it. we've added 25mgs atenolol 2xdaily. why take unworking meds?

Accepted Answer

Hi Ashley, Most medications for gradual chronic illnesses need to be titrated to effect to prevent any drastic changes that the body may not be able to handle. How long have you been on these meds that are not working? If you are not satisfied with your doctor, please ask more questions and if he/she cannot answer, please see a cardiologist for proper evaluation. Good luck.

Question 4

I take amlodipine 5mg, atenolol 50 mg, and losartan 50-12.5mg for blood pressure.  i accidentally took them all twice.  should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

High blood pressure is associated with the development of a number of cardiovascular and kidney diseases, including stroke, heart attack, heart failure, and kidney failure; the risks are reduced by BP medicine. Too much medicine might cause low BP, with symptoms like dizziness/fainting. Be careful. For personal attention to your individual case, consider an inbox consult with a doctor on healthtap

Question 5

I stopped taking amlodipine 10mg and a water pill because of dizziness and  swelling, i now take atenolol and water pill. all ok, is this good?

Accepted Answer

as long as your BP is still under control it should be fine.

Question 6

I take 5mg amlodipine, coversyl plus hd & 25 mg atenolol. terrible burning in legs. if dr. takes me off amlodipine, do we need to replace it?

Accepted Answer

Amlodipine often causes edema, or swelling, of the feet and ankles, that can be severe.  Whether or not it needs to be replaced will depend on your blood pressure readings once it has been stopped.  If your symptoms improve off the drug, but you still need BP control, there are a host of other possible agents to try.

Question 7

I take amlodipine 5mg atenolol 50 mg daily. vitamin d2 50,000 units capsules for 12 weeks for vitamin def 25. can i take mag 07 and liver rescue 5+?

Accepted Answer

Mag07 and Liver Rescue are self-described laxatives and herbal supplements. As with all herbal products, they are not regulated for safety, purity & effectiveness.  I wouldn't recommend them for anybody largely because of lack of effectiveness vs danger. I would be especially careful to avoid laxative-based supplements if I were taking meds that lower blood pressure as you are. Good luck!

Question 8

Take 5mgs amlodipine, coversyl hd plus & atenolol 25mgs 2xdaily. burning legs from amlodipine. can i stop the amlodipine?

Accepted Answer

I am not advising you to stop the amlodipine. This is not a common side effect of this medication. If you suddenly stop your medicine, your BP can rebound to high and dangerous levels. Call your prescribing physician.

Question 9

What can i take to overcome fatigue?....is there some herbal medicine w/o side effects?
i am taking 200 mg sertraline, amlodipine & atenolol.

Accepted Answer

Herbal supplements probably won't help.  Exercise is a great way to increase your energy because it raises your basal metabolic rate naturally.

Question 10

Due to unavaiaility of metoprolol+amlodipine 25/2.5 shifted to atenolol+nifedipine 50/20. is it ok ?

Accepted Answer

It all depends on how the new drugs control your blood pressure. And also how the old drugs were doing. You need to keep a diary of pressures at various times during the day for about a week to make sure. And if you didn't do this while on the old meds, you have no idea how they were doing. Good luck.
