Can I take Amlodopine and Sertraline together?

Why this happens

Both medications can affect the electrical activity of the heart. Additionally, sertraline may slightly interfere with how the liver breaks down amlodipine, potentially leading to higher levels of the blood pressure medicine in your system.

What you should do

You can usually take these together, but you should monitor your blood pressure regularly. Seek medical advice if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, faint, or notice a fluttering sensation in your chest (palpitations). Your doctor may want to check your heart rhythm (ECG) if you are on high doses.
