Is Amlodipine Advisable For Fluctuations In The BP Level While On Warfarin And Pravastatin?

I take 80mg Sotalol twice a day. I suffer from afib. I am also on warfarin, levothyroxine and pravastatin. I have had abnormal blood pressures throughout the day and was prescribed Amlodipine 5mg. I was prescribed it 2 weeks ago but have been worried about taking it because my bps sometimes drops to 108/70 and gets as high as 165/125. I am ready to try it but when is the best time to take the meds I am on and when is the best time to take Amlodipine?

Hello,

You can safely take amlodipine. It will act only on elevated blood pressure and normal blood pressure will not be affected.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
