A member asked:
If i have a side effect with amlodipine, could i have the same reaction with nifidipine?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Side effects: Side effects with amlodipine and nifedipine are very similar so it is possible to experience the same side effects with either drug.....but not a guarantee.

Yes: amlodipine is the generic form of amlodipine. They should be virtually identical
