Can I take Amlopidine and Omega together?

Pourquoi cela se produit

Both amlodipine and omega-3 fatty acids have blood-pressure-lowering effects. Amlodipine works by relaxing your blood vessels, while omega-3 can also reduce blood pressure through various natural pathways. When used together, their effects can add up (an additive effect).

It is generally safe to take these together, but you should monitor your blood pressure regularly at home. If you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or unusually tired, speak to your doctor. They may need to adjust your amlodipine dose. Do not stop taking your prescribed medication without consulting a healthcare professional.

Bleeding disorders or use of blood thinners (e.g. warfarin)

High doses of omega-3 can increase your risk of bleeding. If you take blood-thinning medication or have a bleeding disorder, you must be monitored for signs of bruising or bleeding.

Taking omega-3 supplements with a meal that contains fat helps your body absorb the medicine much better. It is recommended to take them with your largest meal of the day.
