How Does Amlodipine Differ From Bisoprolol?
Question: what is the difference between amlodipine and bisoprolol
Brief Answer:
Bidoprolol Vs Amlodipine
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic for your health concern
Both bisoprolol and amlodipine lower blood pressure. These medications act on different receptors to lower blood pressure.
Bisoprolol blocks the beta receptor and amlodipine blocks calcium channels in the blood vessels.
You can continue taking amlodipine and bisoprolol as prescribed. Avoid Lisinopril, as taking all three medications together can cause too much lowering of blood pressure and reoccurance of cough as side effect.
I recommend that you continue Amlodipine and bisoprolol. Keep monitoring your blood pressure. If blood pressure readings persistently are above 140/90 or 130/80 (if you are diabetic) while on amlodipine and bisoprolol, then follow up with your treating physician to add another antihyertensive to treatment regimen. Since you had cough on lisinopril, Losartan (which do not cause cough, but have similar to lidinopril) would be a good option.
