Puis-je prendre Amitriptyline et Ramipril ensemble ?

Pourquoi cela se produit

Both medications have the side effect of lowering blood pressure. Ramipril is designed to do this by relaxing blood vessels, while amitriptyline can interfere with the body's natural reflexes that maintain blood pressure when you change position. When used together, these effects add up.

It is usually safe to take these together, but you should be cautious. To prevent dizziness, try to get up slowly from a bed or chair. If you feel very dizzy, sit or lie down immediately. Monitor your blood pressure at home if possible and tell your doctor if you feel constantly lightheaded or if you have a fainting spell.

Grossesse

You must not take ramipril if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, as it can cause serious harm or death to an unborn baby, particularly affecting their kidney development.

Idées suicidaires

Amitriptyline can increase thoughts of self-harm or suicide, especially when first starting treatment or changing doses; you must inform a doctor immediately if your mood changes or you feel distressed.

Angioedema (Severe Swelling)

Stop taking ramipril and seek emergency help if you experience swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, as this can be a life-threatening allergic reaction.

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.

Substituts de sel (à base de potassium)

Ramipril can increase the levels of potassium in your blood. Using salt substitutes that contain potassium (such as Lo-Salt) can cause your potassium levels to become dangerously high. Check with your pharmacist before using these.
