Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

The ER tablets release the drug in the intestine and not the stomach.

You can therefore take Sodium Bicarbonate 2 hours after Felodipine.

Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me and will prescribe the advised drugs in appropriate doses.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care
