Why this happens
Both medicines can lower blood pressure. Amlodipine is specifically designed to relax blood vessels and lower pressure. Empagliflozin is for diabetes, but it also has a mild 'water pill' (diuretic) effect that reduces blood pressure. When used together, these effects can add up.
What you should do
It is usually safe to take these together, but 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, have a persistent headache, or feel like you might faint, contact your doctor as they may need to adjust your doses.

Can I take Bisoprolol and Trimbow pmdi // pressurised inhalation together?
Bisoprolol and Trimbow (which contains formoterol) work in opposite ways on the airways. Bisoprolol may cause the airways to narrow, making it harder to breathe and potentially triggering asthma or COPD symptoms. It also makes the formoterol in the Trimbow inhaler less effective at opening your airways.
