I'm currently taking Clopitab and was recently prescribed Amlodipine or Cilnidipine. I've heard that mixing certain medications can sometimes affect how well they work. So, I'm worried if it's okay to take these together? Like, would it make Clopitab less effective? Should I be concerned about this interaction?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, there is a potential interaction between clopitab and amlodipinecilnidipine. Amlodipinecilnidipine may increase the effects of clopitab, leading to an increased risk of bleeding. It is important to monitor for signs of bleeding such as easy bruising or unusual bleeding. It is advisable to use these medications together with caution and under the supervision of a healthcare provider.

View allI've been dealing with hypertension for the past year and recently found out I have mild LVH. I'm currently taking nebivolol and amlodipine, but my blood pressure still won't go below 13585. I'm only 34, and I'm worried about why these meds aren't working. Is there something else I should consider doing or trying?
Managing hypertension with mild LVH (Left Ventricular Hypertrophy) requires a comprehensive approach. _Current Medications_ 1. _Nebivolol_: A beta-blocker that helps lower blood pressure and reduce LVH. 2. _Amlodipine_: A calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure. _Additional Strategies_ 1. _Lifestyle Modifications_: - Regular aerobic exercise (at least 150 minutesweek) - Weight management (aim for a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9) - Balanced diet (emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein) - Stress reduction techniques (meditation, yoga, or deep breathing) 2. _Monitor and Adjust Medications_: - Regularly monitor blood pressure and adjust medications as needed. - Consider adding a diuretic or an ACE inhibitorARB to enhance blood pressure control. 3. _LVH Monitoring_: - Regular echocardiograms to monitor LVH progression - Adjust medications and lifestyle modifications accordingly _Consult a Specialist_ Consider consulting a cardiologist to reassess your treatment plan and provide personalized guidance.
