Puis-je prendre l'Amlodipine et l'Amitriptyline ensemble ?

You can generally take amlodipine et amitriptyline together, but with some precautions.

Taking them together can cause your blood pressure to drop lower than intended, so monitor for dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting.

Amitriptyline can also affect heart rhythm in higher doses, which may be a concern if you have heart issues.

Always let your doctor know all medications you take so they can monitor for interactions or adjust doses if needed.

How to take amlodipine and amitriptyline safely

• Move slowly when changing positions (like getting out of bed) to avoid dizziness.

• If you feel very dizzy, have a racing heartbeat, or faint, contact your doctor.

• Your doctor may want to monitor your blood pressure more closely when you first start this combination.

Idées suicidaires et changements d'humeur

L'amitriptyline peut augmenter le risque de pensées suicidaires ou d'automutilation, en particulier lors du début du traitement ou du changement de doses. Consultez immédiatement un médecin si votre humeur change ou si vous vous sentez déprimé.

Heart conditions (e.g. recent heart attack, arrhythmia)

Do not take amitriptyline if you have recently had a heart attack or have certain heart rhythm problems, as it can affect the electrical signals in your heart.

Maladie hépatique sévère

If you have severe liver problems, your dose may need to be much lower and increased very slowly, as amlodipine is processed by the liver and can build up to toxic levels.

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.

Jus de pamplemousse

Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can increase the amount of amlodipine in your body, which may cause your blood pressure to drop too low. This can lead to side effects like headaches, dizziness, or swelling. Avoid consuming large amounts of grapefruit while taking this medicine.

Caféine (café, thé, boissons énergisantes)

Amitriptyline can sometimes increase the effects of caffeine, making you feel jittery or causing heart palpitations. Conversely, high amounts of caffeine may interfere with the sedative effects of the medicine. Try to keep your caffeine intake moderate.
