Amtas 10mg

Updated

Hi, I have been taking Amtas-10mg for my hypertension for about a year. Since the time I started taking this tablet, I have noticed that my fasting blood sugar has steadily increased from 105 mg/dl to 165 mg/dl. Until I started taking this tablet, I had never had raised fasting blood sugar. My GP says my raised blood sugar has nothing to do with taking Amtas. I would like to have a second opinion on this matter. Thanks in advance.

Amtas contains the active ingredient Amlodipine, which is a calcium channel blocker that's commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions.

And yes, it is known that Amlodipine can cause elevated blood sugar levels and it is usually warned against being used in people that are already diagnosed as Diabetic for that reason.

I'd suggest talking to your doctor about it and seeing if you can try a different medication.

I am on several blood pressure/cardiac medications myself and my doctor checks my blood sugar levels regularly, since there are several that can cause this.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I have been on Amlodipine Besylate Tabs 2.5mg for approx. 2 yrs. The orig. tabs were teeny white round. a yr. ago I started receiving them in a diamond shape. This lasted for a few mos. Yesterday I picked up new script and these tablets are now small round & pink. While taking the diamond shaped tabs. I began to get aches in my left leg and right arm. Started to feel light headed with stiff neck and headaches. These tabs have L on one side and 28 on the other. I also take Edarbi 40mg with the Amlopidine, Bystolic 10mg and Simvistatin in PM. Will be seeing my doc tomorrow. Hope he can enlighten me.
