Patient picks for Drug interactions
Treatment and medication
Can I take Amlodipine and Simvastatin together?
Taking these two medicines together can increase the amount of simvastatin in your blood. This makes you more likely to experience side effects, particularly muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness (a condition called myopathy). In rare cases, this can lead to a serious condition called rhabdomyolysis, which can cause kidney damage.
Treatment and medication
Can I take Amlodipine and Aspirin together?
Taking amlodipine and aspirin together is generally considered safe, but there is a small chance that aspirin could slightly reduce how well amlodipine works to lower your blood pressure. Additionally, both medications can independently increase the risk of stomach irritation or bruising, though this is rarely a significant problem at standard doses.
