A member asked:
Could taking exforge every morning for several years eventually impact my metabolism in a way to cause body-wide fasciculations? i understand amlodipine as a component of exforge is a calcium channel blocker. perhaps it is related?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fasciculations: Are you confusing fasciculations with muscle twitches, cramps, spasms,fibrillation? The valsartan molecule in exforge may cause high potassium levels which can cause muscle cramping although not as common as low potassium. Have your physician check you and order an analysis of your blood electrolytes, BUN ,creatinine, calcium and magnesium levels
