Take Amlodipine Besylate. Want To Start Hgh Releasor. Safe With Blood Pressure Medicine?
Question: I take Amlodipine Besylate(10mg) and wanted to start taking a hgh releasor. Can you recommend one that is safe with my blood pressure medicine? I used one releasor with a fair amount of Arginine while on bp medicine for about a week and had no effect on me. I was then told arginine may not be good with blood pressure medicine, so I stopped the hgh. I used to use one before I was diagnosed with high blood pressure that has 166mg of Arginine. I know that amount is very small and wanted to see if its safe. Thank you.
Dear XXXXXXX
There are no significant reported interactions between arginine and amlodipine, therefore that is probably the reason why things were OK when you took both at the same time. You can keep closer track of your blood pressure log though while you start the supplement for the first week so that you can be reassured.

It is a relatively small dose; there are formulations with significantly higher content and would be safe as a dietary supplement
