Can I take Amytriptaline and Ramipril together?

Drug interaction guide

Taking amitriptyline and ramipril together can cause your blood pressure to drop lower than intended. This is most common when you first start the medication or when your dose is increased. You may feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint, especially when standing up quickly from a sitting or lying position.

Why this happens

Both medications have the side effect of lowering blood pressure. Ramipril is designed to do this by relaxing blood vessels, while amitriptyline can interfere with the body's natural reflexes that maintain blood pressure when you change position. When used together, these effects add up.

What you should do

It is usually safe to take these together, but you should be cautious. To prevent dizziness, try to get up slowly from a bed or chair. If you feel very dizzy, sit or lie down immediately. Monitor your blood pressure at home if possible and tell your doctor if you feel constantly lightheaded or if you have a fainting spell.
