Can I take Amlodipine and Nustendi together?

Por que isso acontece

Amlodipine can slightly interfere with the way the body processes bempedoic acid (a component of Nustendi), leading to higher levels of the medication staying in your system for longer.

It is generally safe to take these together, but your doctor should be aware. They may want to monitor your uric acid levels more closely or check for any signs of muscle or tendon pain. If you experience any unusual joint pain or swelling, contact your doctor.

Gravidez

You must not take Nustendi if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you are a woman who could become pregnant, you must use effective contraception while taking it. Stop taking it immediately and tell your doctor if you become pregnant.

Gota

Nustendi can increase the levels of uric acid in your blood, which may cause gout. Tell your doctor if you have ever had gout or if you develop painful, swollen joints.

Toranja e suco de toranja

Grapefruit can increase the amount of amlodipine in your blood, which may cause your blood pressure to drop too low and increase the risk of side effects like headaches or swollen ankles. Avoid consuming large amounts of grapefruit or its juice while taking this medicine.

Álcool

While there is no direct interaction, alcohol can lower your blood pressure. Combining it with amlodipine may make you feel dizzy or lightheaded. Additionally, both Nustendi and heavy alcohol use can affect your liver; it is best to keep your intake within the recommended limits (14 units per week).
