My pharmacist changed my regular amlodipine 5 mg zyd to amlodipine besylate 5 mg which is a much bigger pill. Is this the right dosage? I am thinking of taking it back to the pharmacy...I hate it when they make changes and say nothing! ## It is the same medication, just manufactured by a different company, this is very common with generics. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that's most commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Its side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach pain. Is there anything else I can help with?

How long will the drug be in my system? ## Hello, James! How are you? The FDA classifies Amlodipine as a calcium channel blocker that is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increase urination and hypotension. However, if you are taking it to treat one of these serious health conditions, I strongly urge you not to stop taking it, without speaking to your doctor to replace it with something else. I understand that side effects can be problematic, but letting your condition get out of control could put you at risk of heart attack, stroke or congestive heart failure. Any of which risks being fatal. What types of problems are you having with it and how long have you been tak...

I have had high BP for some time, treated with 10 mg Ramipril. The readings have always remained on the high side. Today the GP has prescribed 5mg Amlodipine to be taken in combination with Ramipril. Does anyone have any personal experience of this? Reading the side effects of Amlodipine seems a bit scary. ## Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker and it has about the same risk of causing side effects as the Ramipril that you're already taking. However, the most important fact of relevance is that it's far more dangerous to let your blood pressure remain high than any possible side effects you may experience from a medication. Letting it remain high risks damage to your heart, which may be permanent, it also creates the risk of stroke, heart attack, congestive heart failure and...

But only your doctor can determine what is right for you, and whether or not your medications may need to be adjusted.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry cough and stomach pain. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thanks for your replies! I am still getting positive blood pressure readings by cutting the pill in half.
