How much can anti-hypertensives affect GFR?
How much can medication affect a GFR? 62 yr old female, resistant hypertension since aged 18. Take ARBs, epleronone, bisoprolol, furosemide, amlodipine, amiloride. BP fantastically well controlled now for past 16 years. It was under medicated for years by my GP who said it was only white coat hypertension

Generic Med Reactions
I have a question regarding generics for Amlodipine 10 mg. I recently started Amlodipine 10 mg. Got my first prescription for one month and it was a generic from Ascend Laborato and it worked beautifully, no side effects whatsoever. Now my insurance requires for long-term maintenance drugs you go

Side effects or illness?
My husband’s blood pressure had always been high - but in November 2020 he was prescribed Losartan after a trip to the hospital. He had been prescribed prednisone shortly before for sinusitis. Since then he’s developed intrusive thoughts and low mood. A second course of prednisone, antibiotics, and

Side effects with Amlodipine?
I've been on 5mg Amlodipine since I had my aortic valve replaced, by transapical TAVI, 6 weeks ago. The tablets contol my blood pressure perfectly, alongside candesartin (which I've been taking for aound 19 years), and although my general recovery from the op seems fine, I seem to be suffering from

Amlodipine question
Does anyone know if amlodipine can be taken on an ad hoc need-to basis as opposed to a once-daily therapy? My mom's BP is largely stable on a very low sodium diet, and only spikes if we go off track. Thank you.

Diltiazem v Bisoprolol & Felodipine
Have ongoing (daily episodes) of paroxysmal AF - more palpitations than actual racing heartbeat. Recently prescribed Diltiazem instead of Bisoprolol & Felodipine. Anyone on this or changed to it from a beta blocker??

Hair loss with amlodipine
Have had high blood pressure for many years taking 5mg amlodipine with success until recently. Couple months ago the dose was increased to 10mg to combat my higher BP. Now I am losing my hair. Want to control my BP but would like to have some hair on my head. Has anybody else experienced this? Does

CHANGE OF BP MEDICATION - INTERACTION WITH SIMVASTATIN 40MG
As posted previously I was switched from attenolol; to Amlodipine 5mg. However apparently Amlodipine does not interact well with statins 40mg. So the GP has now put me on Lercanidipine 10mg. I post this as info in case anyone has concerns with Amlodipine and Statins being taken together and are
