Why this happens
Amlodipine (a blood pressure medicine) and lansoprazole (a stomach acid reducer) are processed by different pathways in the body and do not interfere with how the other works.
What you should do
Back to contentsYou can continue to take both medicines as prescribed by your doctor. You do not need to change the timing of your doses or take any special precautions regarding this specific combination.

Important precautions
Back to contentsMaladie du foie
Amlodipine is broken down by the liver; if your liver is not working fully, the medicine can build up to toxic levels. Your doctor must monitor you closely and may need to use a much lower starting dose.
Severe diarrhoea
Lansoprazole can increase the risk of serious bacterial bowel infections (such as Campylobacter or C. difficile). If you develop severe or persistent watery diarrhoea, seek medical advice immediately and do not use anti-diarrhoeal medicines.
Food and drink warnings
Back to contentsGrapefruit juice
Grapefruit juice can increase the amount of amlodipine in your blood, which may cause your blood pressure to drop too low and increase the risk of side effects like headaches or swelling. Avoid drinking large amounts of grapefruit juice.
Alcool
While alcohol does not directly interact with amlodipine, both can lower your blood pressure. Drinking alcohol while taking this medicine may make you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or sleepy. It is best to keep alcohol intake to a minimum.

Traitement et médicaments
Can I take Aspirin and Tramadol together?
Taking aspirin and tramadol together can increase the risk of bleeding, particularly in the stomach or gut. It may also increase the risk of side effects like dizziness, drowsiness, or feeling sick. Additionally, both medications can affect your kidney function, especially if you are dehydrated or have existing kidney issues.
Traitement et médicaments
Can I take Aspirin and Paracetamol together?
Taking aspirin and paracetamol together is generally considered safe for most people. There is no significant evidence that they interfere with how each other is absorbed or processed by the body. In fact, they are often found combined in 'extra strength' over-the-counter cold and flu remedies or migraine tablets. However, because both drugs can affect the stomach and kidneys, taking them together for a long time or in high doses may slightly increase the risk of side effects compared to taking just one.
