Amlodepine and dental problems

Evening David, after recently reading your note about dental problems you have experienced I have been lucky at the moment but had found problems in my knees and legs. So I had split the tablet from 5mg to 2.5mg just doing this have made my legs and knees a lot better. This just proves how bad the side effects can come from AMPLODIPINE. Good luck for you anyway

'Dental problems' meaning ridiculously​ painful toothache that (possibly) wakes you in the night, but the Dentist can't find anything wrong, by any chance  

Yes! I've been taking Amlodipine for approx 10 years, and have since, had approx 5 teeth extracted. Whether it's linked to this drug or coincidental or what I don't know.

Hi, the wife here My hubby has been on Amlodepine for 20 years and has eight teeth taken out and four more due to come out in the next few months, also all of his other teeth are loose too! He also experiences fatigue and very low mood, muscle cramps plus lots of other problems. I know some will be due to his diabetes but it's interesting what you guys have been discussing. I was given A too, I had bleeding gums quite bad and a shattered tooth. Upon a visit to the dentist and numerous antibiotics which did not work, she basically said I had trench mouth and considering my routine for cleaning my teeth, she had never seen a mouth so bad before! She told me to inform the doctor to put me on differnt medication, which they did and it cleared up pretty much straight away. I am just trying to gave Dave seen by a dotor to see if they can change his, although being diabetic they said that there was limited B/P tablets, not sure how true that is. It might be too late for his teeth but hopefully will give him some of his life back, because at the minute he is really down

Hi I've just had 3 teeth out.gums perished. been off this drug 6 months now and feel better.I was also tired all the time
