I was taking lisinopril 5mg for high blood pressure and had severe stomach and back pain after taking the med for 3 weeks. My MD switched me to amlodipine 5mg and the same side effects after 2 weeks. Since they are both calcium channel blockers, should I ask for a different class of drug to control my blood pressure? ## Hello, Susan! How are you feeling? These are not both calcium channel blockers, Lisinopril is actually an ACE inhibitor. It is also normal to experience side effects for the first 4 to 5 weeks you are taking a new medication, but they are typically transient and go away with time, once your body adjusts. However, if your pain is that severe, then yes, you may need to try yet another class of medications to lower your blood pressure. One option would be to try one of the ...

after consuming actapin amlodipine 5mg for one and a half month. Can I stopped taking the medication if my blood pressure is under control?? ## The issue is, if the Amlodipine is the only reason your blood pressure is under control and you stop taking it, it is likely going to get out of control again. On top of that, abruptly stopping a medication like this can cause a rebound effect, which could result in dangerously elevated blood pressure. Learn more Amlodipine details here. Have you consulted your doctor? ## My blood pressure is on average 140/90 .I am 72 .Is this ok ?

Are Amlodipine Amlovasc the same as Amlodipine besylate? ## Yes, Amlovasc is just a brand name for Amlodipine, so Amlodipine is the generic and is usually cheaper to purchase. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I live in South Africa and do not know if this will be of any help. I use Amloc, 5mg. Amloc is amlodipine maleate, which does not cause any swelling. Previously I was on amlodipine besylate which caused me to swell up like I was trying to outdo an elephant. My neighbor experienced the same - besylate causes swelling, maleate does not. Both are amlodipine, only different components of it.

All of my previous Amlodipine 5mg scripts were a small round blue tablet larger in the middle. It would always begin to dissolve almost imediately on my tounge. My current refill, same pharmacy, is a round white tablet, imprinted with either 866, or 998, or 859, on one side (Difficult to read) & U with a small mark (could be a 1 on the lower right of the U). Wondering if the pharmacy made a mistake or did indeed change suppliers.
