A member asked:

Can u take tums (calcium carbonate) if u take amlodipine for high blood pressure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No problem: Hi. Yes you can take Tums (calcium carbonate) if you take Amlodipine. No interactions, no problems. The fact that Amlodipine is a "calcium channel blocker" does not mean you cannot take calcium. Good luck!
