Can I take Amlodipine and Perindopril together?

Pourquoi cela se produit

Both medicines work to lower blood pressure but in different ways: amlodipine relaxes the muscles in your blood vessel walls, while perindopril blocks a hormone that causes blood vessels to tighten. Because they attack the problem from two different angles, their effects add together (an additive effect).

This is a very common and effective combination for treating high blood pressure, and many people take them together in a single 'combination' pill. You should monitor your blood pressure regularly at home. To avoid dizziness, try to get up slowly from a sitting or lying position. If you feel very dizzy, faint, or notice a change in how often you urinate, contact your doctor. Your doctor will likely perform regular blood tests to check your kidney function and potassium levels.
