Can I take Amlodipine and Aspirin together?

למה זה קורה

Aspirin belongs to a group of medicines called NSAIDs. These can sometimes cause the body to hold onto salt and water, and they can interfere with natural chemicals called prostaglandins that help keep blood vessels relaxed. This can slightly counteract the blood-pressure-lowering effect of amlodipine.

You can usually take these two medicines together. However, you should monitor your blood pressure regularly to ensure it stays within the target range set by your doctor. If you notice your blood pressure rising or if you experience unusual bruising or stomach pain, speak to your GP or pharmacist.

אסתמה

Do not take aspirin if you have a history of asthma triggered by aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as it can cause a severe, life-threatening asthma attack.

Stomach ulcers or bleeding disorders

Avoid aspirin if you have an active stomach ulcer or a history of bleeding problems, as it significantly increases the risk of serious internal bleeding.

מיץ אשכוליות

Grapefruit juice can increase the amount of amlodipine in your body and may cause your blood pressure to drop too low. It is best to avoid drinking large amounts of grapefruit juice while taking this medicine.

אלכוהול

Drinking alcohol while taking aspirin can increase the risk of irritation and bleeding in your stomach. It is best to limit alcohol intake or avoid it if you have a sensitive stomach.
