Puis-je prendre Amitriptyline et Losartan ensemble ?

Pourquoi cela se produit

Both medications have the effect of lowering blood pressure. Losartan is specifically designed to do this, while amitriptyline can cause low blood pressure as a side effect (orthostatic hypotension). When used together, these effects add up.

You can take these together, but be careful when moving. Rise slowly from bed or chairs to avoid dizziness. If you feel very dizzy, sit or lie down immediately. Monitor your blood pressure regularly and tell your doctor if you feel constantly lightheaded or if you experience a racing heartbeat.

Grossesse

You must not take losartan if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. It can cause serious harm or death to an unborn baby, particularly if used in the second and third trimesters.

Idées suicidaires

Amitriptyline can occasionally cause an increase in suicidal thoughts or the urge to self-harm, particularly when first starting treatment or changing doses. Seek immediate medical help if your mood changes significantly.

Alcool

Boire de l'alcool pendant que vous prenez de l'amitriptyline peut vous rendre très somnolent et instable sur vos pieds. Il est préférable d'éviter l'alcool, surtout lorsque vous commencez le traitement ou si votre dose est augmentée.

Aliments riches en potassium et substituts de sel

Losartan can increase the levels of potassium in your blood. You should avoid using salt substitutes (such as Lo-Salt) that contain potassium. You should also avoid consuming very large amounts of potassium-rich foods like bananas, spinach, or coconut water, unless advised otherwise by your doctor.

Jus de pamplemousse

Grapefruit juice may increase the amount of amitriptyline in your blood, which could increase the risk of side effects. It is best to avoid drinking large amounts of grapefruit juice.
