Can I take Amlodipine and Vitamin d together?

Why this happens

Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker used for high blood pressure, and vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium. While they both involve calcium pathways, taking standard doses of vitamin D does not interfere with how amlodipine works to lower blood pressure, nor does amlodipine affect how your body processes vitamin D.

You can continue taking both as prescribed. As with any supplement, it is best to stick to the recommended daily dose unless your doctor has advised otherwise. If you are taking very high 'therapeutic' doses of vitamin D, your doctor may occasionally monitor your blood calcium levels as part of your routine check-ups.
