Metoprolol Amlodipine

Is it safe to be taking 5mg of amlodipine and 25mg APO-metoprolol in the morning and again in the evening? ## You should take them, if your doctor has instructed you to do so. Multiple medications are often prescribed, if someone's blood pressure is high, in order to bring it down as fast and safely as possible. The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi thanks for the responses..... now I'm taking 5mg of amlodipine in morning plus 25mg of metoprolol and 20mg furosemide.... and in the evening take another 5 mg amlodipine.... is this safe.... ## I take metoprolol 25 mg and amlodipine 10 mg. The amlodipine I have been on for a while, but my doctor...

I was taking amlodipine 5mg+metoprolol 50mg in the morning and ramipril 5mg in the evening. the heart rate dropped to 52-55/min. I have reduced metroprolol to 25mg since last 5 days. The BP is average 130/85 and heart rate is 58-62. Will it longer to stabilize and heart rate to increase further? Does the present combination of amlodipine 5mg+ metoprolol 25mg in the morning and ramipril 5mg in the evening have any serious side effects? I am 54 yrs old and hypertensive. ## I take Metoprolol 50mg. plus Lisinopril 40mg, plus Hydrochlorathiazide 25mg. together in the morning. Is that safe, no interactions? ## Sunil, you should consult your doctor, there is a chance that your lowered heart rate is not due to the medications, there could be something else going on. What time of day have you be...

I have been taking metoprolol ER 50mg and amlodipine 10mg for one month now. I do not take any other medication s. Just today ive started feeling like im having panic attacks hypertension my blood pressure is 180 over 100 and 30 min later after lying down my blood pressure is 146/98 pulse 75 should i be concerned. ## When are you checking your blood pressure and heart rate? Are you on any other medications? It is normal for ones blood pressure and heart rate to vary, depending on their activity levels, what they've eaten, and other factors, according to NIH studies. 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 the typical side effects as usually including dizziness, increased urination, hypotensi...

My primary care Dr. was giving me Amlodipine for high blood pressure. It was working well along with Lisinopril to keep my blood pressure in check but my legs and ankles began to swell so she took me off of the Amlodipine as leg/ankle swelling are a side effect. Then I was admitted into the hospital and the Dr. there gave me Metoprolol. Now my legs are swelling again and if I am correct in what I am finding Amlodipine and Metoprolol are the same thing? ## Hello Anne, The NIH reports that metoprolol is abeta1-selective(cardioselective) adrenoceptor blocking agent and that amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. While both of these medications have different active and inactive ingredients and are different types of blockers they both list ankle swelling as a potential side effect. The r...

I am male age 73 & on hypertension medicine for last 11 years.I was taking combination medicine of 5 mg amlodipine plus 50 mg metoprolol for 6 years.BP used to be in the range of 150/80.I had undergone angioplasty 8 years ago and have been also taking suitable blood thinners etc.Recently due to some kidney problem, nephrologist suggested some additional medicines.He also changed BP medicine dosage to ONLY 25 mg metoprolol without any amlodipine..This caused very SEVERE side effects like drowsiness/ tiredness/breathlessness/panting/feeling of heavy pressure on chest etc.(I could not even bend or walk 10 paces without breathlessness/panting).I am informed that I should revert to combination of amlodipine 5 mg and metoprolol 50 mg - both in extended release form.Is any such medicine fo...

Hello. We are on vacation visiting beautiful panama beach Florida and my husband's blood pressure has gotten as high as 203/110. He was on lisinopril 10mg ER and took a CT head that came back negative. My concern is that his BP is still remaining around 150/98. We just want to make it home to follow up but these blood pressure readings are really scaring me. We also started an 81 mg Aspirin. What else can we do? Should we take both BP pills? ## I am not any type of health pro or in any field, but my husband's cardiologist has him on metoprolol 25mg, atrovastatin 10mg, amlodipine 10mg, lisinopril 5mg with/and aspirin 81mg. So personally I think your safe for now. I am doing research on these meds because he never needed any of this prior to catching the H1N2 virus back in Dec. Of...

Can you please suggest alternative medication to Metoprolol Succinate ER + Amlodipine 50/5 mg [taken for High Blood Pressure] that does not cause erectile dysfunction? ## All medications that are used to treat hypertension and cardiac conditions risk causing erectile dysfunction as a side effect, it's just due to the nature of how they work on the cardiovascular system. So, unfortunately, there isn't any particular drug that can be recommended. What you really have to do is work with your doctor to find what works for you, while causing the least amount of problematic side effects. I understand that it's very frustrating, I am very sensitive to medications myself and it took months before we found some medications that worked for me, without making me miserable. Here's a...

I only take the Metoprolol,when my pulse gets high.I am also taking Lisinopril,when my Blood Pressure gets to high.If I take the Lisenopril and the Metoprolol,in combination,my blood pressure gets to low,so I cannot take them at the same time,it gets very frustrating.

Can these two .meds be taken together trazodone and desyrel ## Hello, Katrina! How are you? I didn't find any interactions or problems listed between these two medications, though it's always best to double check to be sure.

I have swelling in my ankles and legs, feel unbelievably tired and my skin is hot yet I shiver as you do with a sunburn. My Dr. has changed my med at my request, but I would like to know how long it may take for the swelling to go down? ## What medication did they put you on, now? I'm sorry, but it is hard to provide you with accurate information, without knowing more specifics. Can you please post back and clarify? Depending on the new medication, it could take a couple weeks to a month, or more, since most medications in this class can cause these symptoms as side effects, according to the FDA. However, things may be different if they gave you a medication that helps remove the fluid that is causing the edema. ## My Dr switched me to METOPROLOL 25 MG per day. It brought my bp down...

I need to view medication that are healthy alternative for Amlodipine ## What alternative medication if any that could be suggested for amlodipine. I am researching. I know that my doctor has the last word. This one is causing serious swelling of my feet. Is it correct to assume that this medication is exclusive and no other can replace it? Don't think so. ## Hi, Derrick! Sorry about the edema problem that you're having. There are many other medications available that could replace it, but it depends on what you're using it to treat. Are you treating high blood pressure, or some other cardiac issue? If you're just treating hypertension, you may do well with Metoprolol. Learn more Metoprolol details here.

Can I stop Amlodipine while I also take Metoprolol and Lisinopril? The Amlodipine makes me feel cold and shivering quite often.

The others can also cause such symptoms, according to NIH reports, they could also be completely unrelated to any of the medications. Sam, I'm sorry, but your complete sentence did not post. How was it making you feel? The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension.
